AB 3301/2011 BEFORE THE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE B.P. KATAKEY Heard Mr. Choudhury, learned senior counsel for the applicants and Mr. Sinha, le arned PP, Assam. The applicants, namely (i) Abdus Sobur and (ii) Anarul Islam, are seeking the pr ivilege of pre-arrest bail under Section 438 Cr. PC apprehending arrest in conne ction with Lakhimpur P.S. Case No.426/2011 registered under Sections 120(B)/364/ 302 IPC. I have perused the case diary, as produced by Mr. Sinha, learned PP, Assam, whic h reveals sufficient materials against the applicants. Having regard to the nature of allegation made in the FIR and also the materials available in the case diary, I am of the view that for the purpose of investiga tion, the applicants are required to be taken into custody and hence the privile ge of pre-arrest bail cannot be granted to the applicants, as it will hamper the investigation. That being the position, the prayer for pre-arrest bail stands rejected. It has been submitted by the learned senior counsel for the applicant that the a pplicant No.2 is a juvenile within the meaning of Juvenile Justice (Care and Pro tection of Children) Act, 2000, if so, in the event of his arrest, he will be de alt with under the provisions of the said Act.
