The learned APP has opposed the prayer for bail. Considering that the petitioner was taken into custody on 06.06.2026 and has spent about 33 days in custody, the Court is of the considered opinion that further custodial interrogation of the petitioner may not be necessary. 5. Accordingly, the Court is inclined to grant bail to the petitioner, namely, Rajib Kumar Brahma in connection with Kokrajhar P.S. Case No. 80/2026 on furnishing bail bond of Rs.25,000/- with one suitable surety of like amount to the satisfaction of the learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Kokrajhar. 6. The bail is granted on the following conditions: I. That the petitioner shall make himself available to the police or any other investigating agency or Court in the present case as and when required. Moreover, notice under section 35(3) of the BNSS is served at the address and/or place of residence. It would constitute due service of notice at the petitioner to appear before the I/O. II. 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 him from disclosing such facts to Court or to any police officer or tamper with the evidence.
