Vide an order dated 16.03.2026, a Coordinate Bench of this Court had already granted interim pre-arrest bail to the accused-applicant with the condition that the accused-applicant shall appear before the Investigating Officer within 7 days from the date of passing of the order and cooperate with the investigation. The learned counsel appearing for the accused-applicant submits that in terms of the aforesaid order dated 16.03.2026, he has appeared before the Investigating Officer and got his statement recorded. However, Mr. B. Sarma, learned Addl. P.P. has submitted that after getting interim relief from this Court, the accused-applicant has been involved in threatening the witnesses the instant case and due to the aforesaid, two non-FIR cases being 20/26 and 21/26 have been lodged before the Gohpur P.S. against the accused-applicant and therefore, he opposes the grant of pre-arrest to the accused-applicant. This Court has heard the submissions made by the learned counsel appearing for the respective parties and on consideration of the fact that the accused- applicant has already appeared before the Investigating Officer and got his statement recorded and his name was not there in the FIR, is of the view that the interim order passed earlier should be made absolute. However, the Investigating Officer shall be at liberty to approach this Court for cancellation of bail in the event of any threatening or any kind of activities which is not in terms of law, if committed by the accused-applicant. In terms of the aforesaid direction, the instant anticipatory bail application is disposed of. Page No.# 3/3 JUDGE Comparing Assistant
