VERSUS THE STATE OF ASSAM REP BY THE PP ASSAM Advocate for the Petitioner : MS K TAYE, MS D DAS Advocate for the Respondent : PP, ASSAM, Page No.# 2/3 BEFORE HONOURABLE MRS. JUSTICE SUSMITA PHUKAN KHAUND ORDER 04.06.2026 Heard Ms. D. Das, learned counsel for the petitioner. Also heard Mr. P. Borthakur, learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the State. 2. The petitioner, namely, Ashad Ali, has filed this application under Section 482 BNSS, 2023, with prayer for pre-arrest bail, as he is apprehending arrest, in connection with Kokrajhar P.S. Case No. 65/2026, registered under Sections 336(3)/318(4)/3(5) of BNS, 2023. 3. It is submitted that case diary has been received and there are incriminating materials in the case diary against the petitioner. 4. I have considered the submissions at the Bar with circumspection. 5. The allegation against the petitioner, basically, is that he has been issuing duplicate challans, which, however has been denied by the petitioner. 6. The learned Additional Public Prosecutor has raised objection and stated that the co-accused are yet to be arrested and the investigation may be adversely affected if the petitioner is insulated by an order of anticipatory bail. 7. Indeed, there are incriminating materials in the case diary but it appears that custodial interrogation of the petitioner may not be required, as the investigation has progressed to a certain extent. 8. It appears that anticipatory bail may be granted to the petitioner. Page No.# 3/3 9.
