ORDER
22.03.2024 Heard Mr. A Lal, learned counsel for the petitioners as well as Mr. R J Baruah, learned Additional Public Prosecutor, Assam. By this application filed under Section 438 CrPC, the petitioners, namely, Page No.# 2/2
(1) Sri Simanta Choudhury and (2) Sri Habil Ahmed, have prayed for pre-arrest bail in connection with Basistha P.S. Case No. 645/2023 registered under Sections 120(B)/420/468/471/323/506 IPC. It has been submitted at the bar that in pursuant to the interim order dated 22.11.2023 granted in favour of the petitioners, they have appeared before the Investigating Officer and got their statements recorded. Since the petitioners have appeared before the Investigating Officer and their statements have been recorded, this Court is of the opinion that the petitioners do not deserve to be detained in custody. On the other hand, Mr. Baruah has submitted that the Investigating Officer has wanted to interrogate the petitioners again but they have not appeared. Considering the circumstances of the case, the prayer for pre-arrest bail of the petitioners is allowed. The interim order dated 22.11.2023 passed in favour of the petitioners is made absolute. However, the petitioners are directed to appear again before the Investigating Officer within next 10 (ten) days. It is made clear that the petitioners shall cooperate with the investigation as and when so required. The bail application is disposed of.
