DHEMAJI,DISTRICT- DHEMAJI, ASSAM VERSUS THE STATE OF ASSAM REPRESENTED BY THE PP, ASSAM Advocate for the Petitioner : MR S GOGOI, MS A GOGOI Advocate for the Respondent : PP, ASSAM, BEFORE HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE ANJAN MONI KALITA ORDER Date : 08-06-2026 Heard Mr. S. Gogoi, the learned counsel appearing for the accused/applicant. Also heard B. Sarma, the learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the State. Page No.# 2/3 2. This is an application under Section 483 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023, praying for grant of bail to the accused/applicant in connection with Dhemaji Police Station Case No. 82/2026 under Sections 61(2)/316(2)/318(4) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023. 3. An FIR was lodged on 12.05.2026, by one Tej Bahadur Shahi, the informant alleging that he came into touch with one woman, i.e. the accused/applicant in the instant case and she promised him to give pure gold on payment. Accordingly, the accused/applicant had handed over a piece of gold, weighing 2.200 Grams and for that Rs.3,00,000/- (Rupees Three Lakhs) was paid by the informant to the accused/applicant; that later, it was found that gold that was handed over to the informant was fake. 4. In view of the filing of the aforesaid FIR, Dhemaji Police Station Case No. 82/2026 was registered under the aforesaid Sections . 5. The learned counsel appearing for the accused/applicant submits that in the FIR itself there are several contradictions in the instant case and the accused/applicant is nowhere linked in the offence as alleged in the FIR. He further submits that the gold has already been recovered and since the accused/applicant is already behind the bars for 26 (twenty six) days, she should be granted bail at this stage. 6. Mr. B. Sarma, the learned Additional Public Prosecutor, opposes the prayer for granting bail, stating that the investigation is still going on and the co- accused persons are yet to be arrested by the police in the instant case. Page No.# 3/3 7. Case Diary in the instant case has been produced before the Court and the same has been perused. After hearing the learned counsel for the respective parties and taking into account the fact that money is yet to be recovered as well as the other co-accused persons are yet to be arrested by the Investigating Authority, this is not a fit case to grant bail at this stage. 8. Accordingly, the instant Bail Application stands rejected and dismissed at this stage. JUDGE Comparing Assistant
