AB 2972/2011 BEFORE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE C. R. SARMA Heard Mr. C. Baruah, learned counsel, appearing for the petitioner. Also heard M r. B.S. Sinha, learned Addl. Public Prosecutor, appearing for the State-responde nt. This is an application filed under Section 438 Cr.P.C., seeking pre-arrest bail in favour of the petitioner, namely Sri Phulen Gogoi, in connection with Borbaru ah P.S. Case No.96/2011, under Sections 498(A)/494 IPC. Perused the FIR, lodged by the informant on 01.08.2011. In the FIR, it has been alleged that the husband of the informant tried to kill her by putting kerosene and that he has married for the second time despite having three children. From the FIR, it has been alleged that the informant was married with the petitioner, in 1993. Having heard the learned counsel, appearing for both the parties and considering the nature of allegation made in the FIR, I am of the considered opinion that r elease of the petitioner on bail will not adversely effect the investigation. Th erefore, I find no sufficient reason, requiring custodial interrogation of the p etitioner. Accordingly, the prayer for pre-arrest bail of the petitioner is allo wed. Consequently, it is directed that, in the event of arrest of the petitioner, nam ely Sri Phulen Gogoi, in connected with the above mentioned case, he shall be re leased on bail of Rs.20,000/- (rupees twenty thousand)only with one surety of th e like amount to the satisfaction of the arresting authority, subject to the con dition that the petitioner shall appear before the Investigating Officer within 7(seven) days from this date, for the purpose of interrogation in connection wit h this case and on such other dates as may be so required. The A.B. Application is disposed of.
