AB 3162/2011 BEFORE THE HON’BLE MR JUSTICE A.C. UPADHYAY. By this application under Section 438 CrPC, a prayer has been made on behalf of the petitioner Dhruba Roy for grant of pre-arrest bail in connection with Silcha r PS Case No.1276/2011 under Section 498(A) IPC. Heard Mr. S.K. Talukdar, learned counsel appearing for the petitioner and Mr. B. B. Gogoi, learned Addl. PP for the State respondent. On the basis of a letter addressed to the Superintendent of Police, Cachar, Silc har dated 13.7.2011, the FIR was registered and the investigation was launched. The wife of the petitioner alleged sexual abuse and torture on her by her husban d petitioner. Learned counsel for the petitioner has precisely pointed out that the FIR filed by the wife of the petitioner after filing a divorce suit against the petitioner is apparently, in order to strengthen her case for divorce. The l earned counsel for the petitioner submits that the informant wife of the petitio ner has already eloped with another person. However, considering the materials on record, having due regard to the submissio ns made on behalf of the petitioner, I am of the considered view that the petiti oner can be extended the privilege of pre-arrest bail in connection with the abo vementioned police station case. Accordingly, the interim order dated 29.9.2011 is hereby made absolute. Bail application stands disposed of.
