This is an application under Section 483 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023, with prayer for bail for the accused/petitioner, Bulbul Islam @ Bulbul Ali, in connection with North Lakhimpur P.S. Case No. 130/2026 Page No.# 2/3 corresponding to G.R. Case No. 379/2026 under Sections 69/319(2)/351(3)/296/77 of the BNS Act read with Section 66C/66E/67A of the IT Act. 3. It is submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioner that the petitioner is nowhere connected with the present offence. She further submits that it is a fact that there was love relationship between the petitioner and the victim and even if any physical relationship was there, it was purely consensual in nature. That apart, the petitioner has been in custody for the last 45 (forty five) days and if granted bail, he is ready to co-operate with the investigation of the case. 4. Ms. Borah, learned Additional Public Prosecutor raises objection and insist on calling for the case diary and submits that there was physical relationship between the victim and the petitioner with false promise of marriage and that the petitioner presented himself as a hindu boy, whereas it came to the knowledge of the victim that the petitioner was a muslim boy. 5. Considering the submissions made by the learned counsels for the parties and without going into the merits of the case and only considering the length of detention, it is seen that the Investigating Officer had sufficient opportunities to interrogate the petitioner, and therefore, I find it to be a fit case to enlarge the accused/petitioner on bail. 6. Accordingly, the accused/petitioner be released on bail on furnishing a bond of Rs. 20,000/- (Rupees twenty thousand) only with one surety of like amount to the satisfaction of the learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Lakhimpur, North Lakhimpur. The accused/petitioner, be enlarged on bail, subject to the following conditions:- Page No.# 3/3 (i) that the petitioner shall not, directly or indirectly, make any inducement, threat or promise to any person acquainted with the facts of the case so as to dissuade 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, Lakhimpur, North Lakhimpur without prior permission. 7. The Bail Application stands disposed of. JUDGE Comparing Assistant
