AB 3212/2011 BEFORE THE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE B.P. KATAKEY Heard Mr. Hazarika, learned counsel for the petitioner as well as Mr. B. S. Sinha, learned Public Prosecutor, Assam. The petitioner, namely, Sri Dilip Taid, is seeking the privilege of pre- arrest bail under Section 438 Cr.P.C. apprehending arrest in connection with Dha kuakhana P.S. Case No.157/2011 registered under Section 376 IPC. The aforesaid P.S. case has been registered on the basis of the first in formation report lodged on 26.08.2011. I have perused the case diary produced by the learned Public Prosecutor, Assam. Having perused the same and upon consideration of the allegation made an d the materials available in the case diary, I am of the view that it is not a f it case where the privilege of pre-arrest bail is to be granted to the petitione r, as it will hamper the investigation. That being the position, the prayer for pre-arrest bail stands rejected. The bail application is accordingly disposed of.
