AB 120/2011 BEFORE HON\BLE MR JUSTICE B D AGARWAL Heard Mr R Ali, learned counsel for the petitioners. Also heard Mr. BS Sinha, l earned Additional Public Prosecutor for the State. This application under section 438 of the Cr.P.C. has been filed by accused peti tioner namely, Md. Abdul Haque Sikdar seeking pre-arrest bail apprehending his a rrest in connection with Barpeta Police Station Case No. 1548 of 2010 under sec tions 120 (B)/ 379/34 of the Indian Penal Code. Also perused the case diary and the report of the Officer -in charge of Barpeta police station. The prosecution case is that some quantity of illegal sawn timber was seized fro m the possession of the present accused, while some was being transported in a T ata Sumo. The petitioner took a plea that the timbers were purchased from two firms, namel y, M/s Manas Tiber and M/s Sony Timber .. In the latest report of the police, it has been reported that the owner of M/S M anas Timber is a relative of the accused and the owner of the M/s Sony Timber i s a business partner of the accused. Be that as it may, the officer-in-charge , Barpeta Police Station has opined tha t the timber did not bear any marking of the forest officials which itself is su fficient to take a view that the timbers were purchased illegally. Besides this, the modus operandi of transporting timbers also indicate that it was being tran sported in a clandestine manner and at the time of detention of the vehicle with timbers, no documents were produced to the police officer. Having regard to all the aspects, I hold that it is not a fit case, wherein priv ilege of anticipatory bail can be granted. Accordingly, this anticipatory bail application stands rejected. Interim bail granted on 12.01.2011 stands vacated. The Registry is directed to send a copy of this order to the O.C. Barpeta Police Station.
