AB 2628/2011 BEFORE HON’BLE MR JUSTICE AC UPADHYAY This is second application for pre arrest bail filed on behalf of Md. Nezam Uddi n Laskar in connection with Doboka P.S. Case No.90/2011 u/s 420/384 IPC. I have heard Mr. S.K. Talukdar, learned Counsel appearing on behalf of the petit ioner and Mr. Z. Kamar, learned P.P., Assam. Mr. Kamar, learned P.P., by produci ng the case diary has apprised the Court regarding the progress of investigation of this case. Mr. Talukdar, learned Counsel for the Petitioner submits that on the strength of an agreement signed by the petitioner with the ASEB, the petitioner was collect ing arrear dues of the consumer of the locality and the allegation levelled agai nst him for cheating and extortion is completely false and baseless.. On the other hand, Mr. Z. Kamar by referring to the case diary and the investiga tion so far made by the Investigating Officer has pointed out that the petitione r has been accused of extorting huge amount of money from the local BPL cardhold ers in the name of DGM on the assurance of giving new connections. On careful consideration of the materials on record, considering the nature and gravity of the offence alleged since the petitioner is named in the FIR, I am of the considered view that this is not a fit case to extend the privilege of pre -arrest bail. Accordingly, the prayer for pre-arrest bail on behalf of the petitioner stands r ejected.
