AB 1556/2011 BEFORE THE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE AC UPADHYAY This is an application under Section 438 of Cr.P.C., seeking pre-arrest bail of the petitioner, namely, Sri Dhanashyam Kalita in connection with Kamalpur P.S. C ase No. 84/2011 under Sections 381 IPC. Heard Mr. C. Mahanta, learned counsel appearing for the petitioner, and Mr. K. M unir, learned Addl. P.P. for the State of Assam. Learned Addl. P.P. by producing the Case Diary has apprised the Court regarding progress of the investigation. One Dr. Mahesh Baruah, Branch Manager of Sona Vets (P) Ltd., Rangia lodged an FI R stating inter alia that the accused-petitioner had stolen away 1475 numbers of chickens, weighting about 2655 Kg., which had been amounting of Rs.2,12,400/-. Learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that the petitioner was a commi ssion agent working on behalf of the company. Therefore, question of theft of c hickens, which were in his farm, does not arise at all. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case and also the materials on re cord, I am of the considered view that the petitioner deserves to be extended th e privilege of pre-arrest bail in connection with this case. Accordingly, it is provided that in the event of arrest of the petitioner, Sri D hanashyam Kalita in connection with the case aforementioned, he shall be release d on bail on his furnishing a bond of Rs.10,000/- with one local surety of the l ike amount each to the satisfaction of the arresting authority on condition that he shall cooperate with the investigating agency and shall make himself availab le to the I/O of the case as and when required. With the above directions, this bail application stands disposed of.
