Page No.# 1/2 GAHC010132412026 2026:GAU-AS:9473 THE GAUHATI HIGH COURT (HIGH COURT OF ASSAM, NAGALAND, MIZORAM AND ARUNACHAL PRADESH) Case No. : Bail Appln./1641/2026 MD MUSHAHIDUL ISLAM S/O JABED ALI R/O NO. 2 JENGONI P.S. DHING DISTRICT NAGAON ASSAM. VERSUS THE STATE OF ASSAM REP BY THE PP ASSAM ------------ Advocate for : MR. A AHMED Advocate for : PP ASSAM appearing for THE STATE OF ASSAM BEFORE HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE KALYAN RAI SURANA ORDER Date : 09.07.2026 Heard Ms. F. B. Choudhury, learned counsel appearing on behalf of Mr. A. Ahmed, learned counsel for the petitioner and Mr. B. Sarma, learned Addl. PP for the State. This instant bail application has been filed under Section 483 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraskha Sanhita, 2023, whereby the accused petitioner namely, Md. Mushahidul Islam, has prayed for bail in connection with Nagaon P.S. No. 399/2026 under Section 143 of BNS R/W Section 3/4/5/7 of Immoral Page No.# 2/2 Traffic (Prevention) Act, 1956. Pursuant to notice issued earlier, the learned APP has produced the case diary and opposed for grant of bail. The learned APP submits that as per the investigation, the petitioner is the person, who was originally supplying victims for prostitution purpose and stated to be the main accused in the offence committed by the arrested co-accused. Case diary disposes sufficient materials against the petitioner of having indulged in immoral trafficking and also disposes that two victims were also recovered during the raid carried out at the concerned hotel and the Investigating Officer is of the view that the petitioner was engaged in the act encouraging prostitution. Be that as it may, as the petitioner, who was arrested on 31.05.2026, is in custody for the last 40 days, the Court is of the considered view that considering the length of detention, further custodial interrogation of the petitioner may not be necessary. Hence, the interim bail granted to the petitioner earlier on 19.06.2026 is hereby made absolute in the same terms and conditions. This application stands disposed of. Case diary is returned.
