AB 1130/2011 BEFORE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE C.R. SARMA Heard Mr.S.K.Talukdar, learned counsel for the petitioner and Mr. K.Munir, learn ed Addl.P.P, Assam. This is an application U/S 438 Cr.P.C, seeking pre-arrest bail in favour of the petitioner Kutub Uddin Laskar in connection with Sonai P.S. Case No. 47/2011 U /S 498 (A) IPC. The petitioner is on interim bail w..e.f. 3.5.2011. There is no adverse report a gainst the petitioner. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that initi ative for reconciliation between the parties has been taken and that there is ev ery possibility of reunion between the parties. In the complaint petition the co mplainant i.e. the wife of the petitioner stated that delay in filing the compla int was caused due to reconciliation process. In view of the above, there appears to be some prospect of reunion between the c ouple. Therefore, considering entire aspects of the matter, I am of the view that arr est of the petitioner followed by custodial detention , may adversely affect the prospect of reconciliation. Hence, I do not find it to be a fit case requiring custodial detention. Therefor e, the interim order dated 3.5.11 is hereby made absolute subject to condition that the petitioner shall appear before the I.O. for interrogation , if so required. This bail application stands disposed of.
