ORDER 28-04-2026 Heard Mr. S. Nath, learned counsel for the petitioner and Mr. P. Borthakur, learned Additional Public Prosecutor, Assam. 2. This is an application under Section 482 BNSS, 2023 praying for grant of pre-arrest bail to the accused/petitioner, namely, Sri Pankaj Narzary who is apprehending arrest in connection with Gorchuk P.S. Case No. 190/2025 registered under Section 103(1) of BNS, 2023. Page No.# 2/3
3. Case diary received. Perused the same. 4. It is submitted by Mr. Borthakur, learned APP that till date the police could not send the FSL report for the viscera and from the record it reveals that inspite of several chance given to the I.O., he could not produce the FSL report of the viscera which has already been sent for examination during investigation. 5. It is submitted by Mr. Nath, learned counsel that the case lodged only on suspicion, but the present petitioner is no way connected with the alleged offence, rather he was providing treatment to his wife and also giving medicine to her as she was ill during those days. Further, the petitioner after obtaining the order of interim pre-arrest bail already appeared before the I.O. and co- operated in the investigation of the case. 6. Mr. Borthakur, learned APP submitted that the FSL report of the Viscera is not received, however, from the provisional post mortem report it is seen that the doctor opined that the deceased died due to hypoglycemia for consumption of alcohol. Apart from that from the other report of the FSL it is seen that the liquid which was seized by police during investigation does not contain poison and the tablets which were seized also seems to be multivitamin tablets. Mr. Borthakur, learned APP further submitted that after obtaining the order of interim pre-arrest bail the petitioner appeared before the I.O. and his statement has already been recorded. 7.
Considering the submissions made by the learned counsel for the parties and also considering the materials available in the case diary, this Court is of the opinion that custodial interrogation of the petitioner may not be necessary for the purpose of investigation of the case and accordingly, I find it a fit case to extend the privilege of pre-arrest bail to the petitioner.
