AB 3107/2011 BEFORE THE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE B.P. KATAKEY Heard Mr. Ali, learned counsel for the applicant and Mr. Sinha, learned PP, Assa m. The applicant, namely Md. Samsul Alom, is seeking the privilege of pre-arrest ba il under Section 438 Cr. PC apprehending arrest in connection with Chaygaon P.S. Case No.149/2011 registered under Sections 498(A)/109/506/34 IPC. I have perused the case diary, as produced by Mr. Sinha, learned PP, Assam, whic h reveals sufficient materials against the applicant. Having regard to the nature of allegations made in the FIR and since the applica nt is absconding, I am of the view that for the purpose of investigation, the ap plicant is required to be taken into custody and hence the privilege of pre-arre st bail cannot be granted to the applicant, as it will hamper the investigation. That being the position, the prayer for pre-arrest bail stands rejected.
