Nyamin Garam v. The State of Ap

ORDER Date : 06.11.2023

Heard Mr. T. Garam, learned counsel for the applicant. Also heard Ms. T. Jini, learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the State. This application has been filed under Section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 seeking for pre-arrest bail in connection with Doimukh Police Page No.# 2/3 Station Case No. 54/2023 under Section 326/34 IPC. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that after obtaining pre-arrest bail on 26.09.2023 he had appeared before the Investigating Officer and gave his statement in connection with this case. Further it is submitted that the present petitioner is the student of Rajiv Gandhi University, Rono Hills, Doimukh pursuing his M.A. in Sociology. He further submits that, it is a fact that there was a push and pull between the two groups of students during the election process, but there was no any intention to cause harm to the victims, though during the push and pull some of the student got hurt. Further, the applicant is still ready and willing to co-operate the IO and also prays for making the interim bail as absolute and if the same is made absolute, there is no chance of absconding or hampering or tempering of this case. In this context, Ms. T. Jini, learned Additional Public Prosecutor has submitted that from the medical report as well as from the statement made by the victims, it is seen that some of the victims sustained grievous injury. She also submits that considering the gravity and nature of the offence the pre-arrest bail prayer should not be allowed at this stage. In this context, the learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that the incident took place only because of pull-push between the students after the declaration of election result. He further submitted that the applicant had undertaken before the I.O that he will not repeat such offence in future. After hearing the submissions of learned counsels for both sides and also considering the fact that the accused/petitioner is a student as well as Page No.# 3/3 considering the fact that the accused/applicant had appeared before the IO and co-operated with the investigation of this case, I find it appropriate to extend the privilege of pre-arrest bail to the applicant, namely Nyamin Garam. Thus, the order of interim pre-arrest bail passed by this Court dated 26.09.2023, in connection with Doimukh P.S. Case No. 54/2023, under Sections 326/34 of IPC is hereby made absolute. In terms of above, this anticipatory bail application stands disposed of. The Case Diary be sent back. JUDGE Comparing Assistant
