VERSUS THE STATE OF ASSAM REPRESENTED BY THE P.P. ASSAM. ------------ Advocate for : MR A K AZAD Advocate for : PP ASSAM appearing for THE STATE OF ASSAM BEFORE HONOURABLE MRS. JUSTICE SUSMITA PHUKAN KHAUND ORDER Date : 23.06.2026 Heard Mr. A.K. Azad, learned counsel for the petitioner. Also heard Mr. K.K. Das, learned Additional Public Prosecutor appearing for the State of Assam. 2. The petitioner, Sohidul Islam @ Shahidul Islam, has filed this application Page No.# 2/3 under Section 483 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 with prayer for bail as he is behind bars since 22.05.2026 in connection with Sonapur Police Station Case No. 36/2026 under Sections 112/316(2)/318(4)/335(A) (ii)/336(3)/61(2) of Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023. 3. I have considered the submissions at the bar with circumspection. It is submitted on behalf of the petitioner that the allegation against the petitioner is absurd. It is not possible to open a bank account and after opening the bank accounts as alleged to use the same account as mule bank accounts to transfer funds fraudulently. 4. Mr. K.K. Das, learned Additional Public Prosecutor appearing for the State of Assam has raised objections stating that there are incriminating materials in the case diary against the petitioner. He along with his co-accused had procured signatures /thumb impressions and thereafter, on committing the offence of forgery, he has also used the accounts of the innocent villagers, who have been duped by him as mule accounts. 5. I have also scrutinized the case diary. There are incriminating materials in the case diary. Investigation has been progressed. It appears that considering the length of detention, further custodial detention of the petitioner may not be necessary for investigation. 6. Considering all aspects and in view of the foregoing discussions, the petitioner is enlarged on bail on furnishing a bail bond of Rs.30,000/- (Rupees Thirty Thousand) only with a suitable surety of like amount to the satisfaction of the learned Eleka Magistrate/Jurisdictional Court under the conditions that :- (i) That the petitioner shall appear before the Investigating Officer on Page No.# 3/3 every fortnight till completion of investigation, (ii) That the petitioner shall not leave the jurisdiction without prior permission till completion of trial, (iii) That the petitioner shall not exercise threats to the complainant and the witnesses and, (iv) That the petitioner shall refrain from such activities with which he has alleged. 7. On breach of any of the bail conditions, interim bail order shall automatically stand cancelled. 8. In terms of the above observation, this petition stands disposed of. 9. Send back the case diary.
