AB 525/2011 BEFORE HON’BLE MR JUSTICE C.R.SARMA Heard Mr. M.H.Rajbarbhuiya, learned counsel appearing for the petitioners and M r B.B.Gogoi, learned Additional Public Prosecutor, Assam. Perused the case diary. This application has been filed in favour of the petitioners, na mely, Shri Mintoo Das and Shri Biswajit Das U/s 438 CrPC seeking pre arrest bail in connection with Lakhipur P.S. Case No. 313/2009 corresponding to G.R.Case No .3877/2009 registered U/s 353/379 IPC read with Section 40/41 of Assam Forest Ac t. The allegations made against the petitioners is that the petitio ners along with others illegally removed forest produces(Timber) without valid d ocument and that on being resisted by the Forest Official, the petitioners had o bstructed the said Forest Official in performing their official duties and took away the timbers. It has also been alleged that the petitioners while removing t he forest produces had assaulted Md. Abul Hussain Mazumdar, Forester-1 (informan t) and his staff. Having heard learned counsel for the parties and considering the incriminating materials collected by the investigating agency, I find no suffic ient reason for extending the benefit of pre-arrest bail to the accused/ petitio ners. Consequently, the prayer for bail stands rejected. Return the case diary. The bail application stands disposed of.
