This is an application filed under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), 2023, for granting pre-arrest bail to the petitioner, namely, Joon Kalita @ Joonmoni Kalita in connection with Tezpur P.S. Case No. 714/2025, corresponding to G. R. Case No. 1574/2025 under Sections 61(2)/308(5)/351(3)/3(5) of BNS, 2023. 3. Case Diary received. Perused the same. 4. It is submitted by Mr. Mahanta that the present accused/petitioner is innocent and he is not involved in the alleged offence. Only the name of the present petitioner has been reflected in the FIR without his any implications. However, in pursuant to the order dated 09.01.2026 he had already appeared before the I/O and cooperated in the investigation of the case. He is still ready and willing to extend his cooperation if he is granted the privilege of pre-arrest bail. 5. Mr. Borthakur, the learned Additional Public Prosecutor submitted in this regard that from the Case Diary it is seen that the petitioner had already appeared and his statement is also recorded by the IO during the investigation. He is cooperating with the I/O. 6. Considering the entire submissions made by learned counsel for both sides, materials in the Case Diary, vis-à-vis the the conduct of the the present accused/petitioner, I find that custodial interrogation is not necessary for the present accused/petitioner. Accordingly, I find it a fit case to extent the privilege of pre-arrest bail to the present petitioner. 7. In view of this the interim order dated 09.01.2026 is made absolute with the same terms and condition. Page No.# 3/3 8. With the above observations, the AB stands disposed of.
