JUSTICE SUSMITA PHUKAN KHAUND ORDER 16.07.2026 Heard Mr. A. Tarafder, learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel, Mr. S. Ahmed is present for the respondent no.2. Also heard Mr. M.P Goswami, learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the State of Assam. 2. The petitioner, namely, Chandra Sekhar Sarmah, has filed this application under Section 483(3) BNSS, 2023 seeking cancellation of bail of respondent no.2, namely, Rajat Kumar Shrivastav. 3. The petitioner has prayed for cancellation of bail granted to respondent no.2 vide order dated 13.12.2024 and order dated 06.06.2025 in PRC Case No.144/2025 arising out of Nagaon P.S Case No.1142/2024 under Sections 74/79 BNS, 2023. This case is pending in the Court of learned JMFC, Nagaon. 4. The allegation against the respondent no.2 is that he made obscene gestures towards the wife of the petitioner which prompted the petitioner’s wife to slap the respondent no.2. This, in turn, triggered an altercation, following which several persons gathered at the place of occurrence. It is further alleged that the respondent no.2 also attempted to commit sexual assault on the wife of the petitioner in presence of the gathering. An FIR was thereafter lodged and the aforesaid case was registered. Subsequently, vide the impugned order dated 13.12.2024, the petitioner was allowed to remain on previous bail after submission of the charge-sheet. Page No.# 3/3 5. On 13.11.2025, charge under Section 74/79 was framed against the respondent no.2 by the learned JMFC, Nagaon. It is submitted that the conditions imposed upon him have been contradicted by the learned trial court vide order dated 28.01.2026, whereby and whereunder the respondent no.2 was allowed to attend his duty as a Bank Manager in the State of U.P without taking leave of the Court. 6. It is emphasised by the learned counsel for the petitioner that the said order is contradictory, as earlier the petitioner was directed not to leave the jurisdiction of the District of Nagaon without prior permission of the Court. On this ground, it is submitted that the Court has contradicted its own earlier order and the petitioner has, therefore, prayed for cancellation of bail. 7. The learned counsel for the respondent no.2, Mr. S. Ahmed has drawn the attention of this Court to the order dated 28.01.2026, where the Court modified the order and allowed the respondent no.2 to work as a Manager in Punjab National Bank in the State of U.P. 8. I have also scrutinised the order dated 28.01.2026. The respondent no.2 has now left the jurisdiction of the Nagaon Court after obtaining permission from the Court of the JMFC, Nagaon, which has been clearly reflected in the order dated 28.01.2026. Thereby, there appears to be no ground to cancel the bail of the respondent no.2. 9. In view of the foregoing discussions, this petition is dismissed. JUDGE Comparing Assistant
