JUSTICE MITALI THAKURIA ORDER Date : 26-05-2026 Heard Mr. F Haque, the learned counsel for the petitioner. Also heard Mr. D P Goswami, the learned Additional Public Prosecutor appearing on behalf of the State respondent. 2. This is an application under Section 483 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Page No.# 2/3 Sanhita, 2023, with prayer for bail as the petitioner is behind bars since 01.05.2026 in connection with Palashbari P.S. Case No. 102/2026 u/s 303(2) of BNS Act. 3. Case Diary not received. 4. It is submitted by Mr. Haque, the learned counsel for the petitioner that the accused/petitioner is behind the bars since 26 days and thus the I/O got sufficient opportunity to interrogate him keeping him in custody and that apart, the goats which were stolen by the present petitioner is also recovered and it is already handed over to the owner of the goat. Accordingly, Mr. Haque submitted that considering these aspects of the case, he may be allowed to go on bail. However, the petitioner is still ready and willing to extend his cooperation in further investigation of the case, if he is granted with the privilege of bail. 5. Mr. Goswami, the learned Additional Public Prosecutor submitted that without perusal of the Case Diary it is difficult on his part to make submission. However, it is a fact that the stolen goats are already being recovered. 6. Hearing the submissions made by learned counsel for both sides and without going into the detail of other merits of the case and considering the length of detention undergone by the accused/petitioner, this Court is of the opinion that I/O got sufficient time for custodial interrogation of the present petitioner and hence further custodial detention may not be necessary for the interest of investigation. In view of this, I find it a fit case to extend the privilege of bail to the petitioner. 7. Accordingly, the accused/petitioner be released on bail on furnishing a bond of Rs. 30,000/- (Rupees Thirty thousand) only with one surety of like amount to the satisfaction of the learned CJM, Kamrup, Amingaon. The accused/petitioner, Page No.# 3/3 namely Soheb Ali, be enlarged on bail, subject to the following conditions:- (i) that the petitioner shall make himself available for interrogation by the Investigating Officer as and when required; (ii) that the petitioner shall not, directly or indirectly, make any inducement, threaten or promise to any person acquainted with the facts of the case so as to dissuade him/them from disclosing such facts to the Court or to any police officer; and (iii) that the petitioner shall not leave the jurisdiction of the learned CJM, Kamrup, Amingaon without prior permission. The Bail Application stands disposed of. JUDGE Comparing Assistant
