AB 2964/2011 BEFORE THE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE C.R. SARMA Heard Mr. R. Phukan, learned counsel appearing for the petitioner. Also heard M r. B.B. Gogoi, learned Addl. P.P. appearing on behalf of the respondent State . Perused the C.D. This application has been filed u/s. 438 Cr.P.C. seeking pre-arrest bail in favour of the accused/ petitioner, namely; Ram Medhi in connection with Noo nmati P.S. Case No. 358/2011 u/s. 294/323/353 IPC The allegation made in the FIR is that the informant who is an advocate by profe ssion went to the office of the petitioner for causing service of the notice iss ued by the High Court and that he was manhandled by the petitioner. Having heard the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner and considering th e facts and circumstances of this case, I am of the opinion that custodial inter rogation of the petitioner, who is on interim bail w.e.f. 24.10.2011, is not nec essary. Therefore, the prayer for anticipatory bail is allowed. Consequently the interim order dated 24.10.2011 is made absolute subject to condition that the petitione r shall appear before the I.O. within 7 days from today and on such other dates as may be so required by the I.O. It is also provided that the petitioner shall not interfere with the investigation in any manner and he shall not intimidate a ny person connected with this case. With the above directions, this bail application is disposed of. Return the C.D .
