It is submitted by Mr. Laskar, the learned counsel for the present accused petitioner that she is innocent and there is no specific allegation brought against her in the FIR, though as the wife of the accused No.1, her name is mentioned in the FIR. During the investigation, the police never searched for her and hence, she was not aware about the case instituted against her. However, the case has already been charge sheeted showing as an absconder. She has already received the summons from the learned Trial Court and also ready to appear before the learned Trial Court and to contest the case accordingly. However, as she has been shown as an absconder in the charge sheet, interim protection may be provided to her so that she can appear before the learned Trial Court. Mr. Borthakur, learned Addl. P.P., Assam submitted in this regard that the petitioner may be directed to appear before the learned Trial Court with an appropriate application for bail, which may be considered in accordance with law. He further submitted that till date, only the summons was issued against the present accused petitioner. Considering the submissions made by learned counsel for both sides, the petitioner is hereby directed to appear before the learned Trial Court below within 15 days from this order, with an appropriate application for bail, which Page No.# 3/3 may be considered in accordance with law. However, till 15 days from the date of this order, as an interim protection, no coercive action shall be taken against the present petitioner. With the above observation, the present pre-arrest bail application stands allowed and disposed of. JUDGE Comparing Assistant
