AB 3072/2011 BEFORE THE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE B.P. KATAKEY Heard Miss Kanungoe, learned counsel for the petitioner as well as Mr. B .S. Sinha, learned Public Prosecutor, Assam. The petitioner, namely, Md. Sakim Uddin, is seeking the privilege of pre -arrest bail under Section 438 Cr.P.C. apprehending arrest in connection with Bo ngaigaon P.S. Case No.486/2010 registered under Section 302 IPC. The aforesaid P.S. case has been registered on the basis of the first in formation report lodged on 07.10.2010. Having heard the learned counsel for the parties and upon perusal of the materials available on record, I am of the view that it is not a fit case where the privilege of pre-arrest bail is to be granted to the petitioner, 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.
