The petitioners herein apprehending their arrest in connection with Barpeta Poli ce Station Case No.711 of 2011 under sections143/120(B)/448/353/224/225 (D) of t he Indian Penal code have approached this Court by filing this petition under se ction 438 of the Cr.P.C to provide them the privilege of pre-arrest bail in view of the ground contended in the petition. Mrs. Devi, learned counsel at the very outset of her submission in support of th e petition contends that the petitioners are not involved in connection with the allegations alleged in the FIR lodged by Rafikul Hasan Choudhury, ASI of Howly Out Post. It is submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioners that these petit ioners were taken to the police stations by one Md. Habibur Rahman on account of detention of one Md. Abdul Haque Sikdar in connection with Barpeta Police Stati on Case No. 1548 of 2010. The allegations brought against the petitioners as it appears from the face of t he FIR are that Md. Abdul Haque Sikdar had been arrested in connection with Barp eta P.S Case No. 1548 of 2010 and kept in police lock up. These petitioners alon gwith several others trespassed into the outpost and had forcibly taken Md. Abdu l Haque Sikdar from the police lock up after resisting the police personnel. We have scrutinised the allegations and the submissions advanced by the learned co unsel for the petitioners. Materials available in the case diary when perused, i t appears that the petitioners were also involved in taking Md. Abdul Haque Sikd ar from the police custody with the assistance of others namely, Boka, Jakir and Nazmul Haque. However, considering the nature and offences, this court find s no ground to dismiss their prayer for pre-arrest bail. It appears that the pet itieners’ detention in other words arrest would not be necessary for the purpose of investigation. It is provided that in the event of arrest of the petitioners in connection with the aforesaid case, they shall be released on bail for ‘ 10,000/- each with one local surety of like amount to the satisfaction of the arresting authority. Further petitioners shall appear before the I.O. within 5(five) days for recordi ng their statements. With the above directions, this bail application stands disposed of.
