It is stated that as per allegations of the complainant in the FIR, the named accused, namely, Rajib Kumar Brahma illegally prepared and used three (3) counterfeit official letterheads bearing the name and designation of the complainant and forged his signature on the same. He attempted to use these fake letterheads before Government offices for official and administrative purposes. Upon verification, the documents were found to be completely fake, unauthorized, and fabricated. Further it has been stated that the FIR named accused has already been arrested and forwarded to the learned CJM, Kokrajhar. 4. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that he is a businessman by profession and has no link with the alleged offence. Pursuant to protection granted by this Court, the petitioner had appeared before the Investigating Officer and his statement has also been recorded. 5. Mr. B. Sarma, learned Additional Public Prosecutor appearing for the State of Assam has placed the case diary before the Court and therefore, it appears that the statement of the petitioner has been recorded. 6. The main accused has been arrested and in his statement he has implicated the present petitioner. But other than the statement of the aforesaid co-accused there appears to be no such other materials against the petitioner. 7. Having regard to the above fact as well as the fact that the statement of the petitioner has already been recorded, I am of the view that the petitioner is entitled to the privilege of pre-arrest bail. Accordingly, the prayer for pre-arrest Page No.# 3/3 bail is allowed. 8. The order of interim pre-arrest bail dated 26.06.2026 is hereby made absolute on the conditions that the petitioner shall fully co-operate with the investigation of the case and shall appear before the Investigating Officer as and when required in connection with the investigation of the aforesaid P.S. case and 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 the Court or to any police officer. 9.
