AB 2428/2011 BEFORE THE HON’BLE MR JUSTICE. AK GOSWAMI Heard Mr. N. Choudhury, learned counsel for the petitioner. Also heard Mr. BS Si nha, learned Addl. PP, Assam. Mr. Sinha has made available the case diary for the peru sal of this court. I have perused the same. In the Ejahar it has been stated that Nasuma Begum, who had eloped with the petitioner No.1, is about 14 years of age. The above positio n with regard to age of Nasuma Begum has not been disputed in the application fo r bail and during the course of argument also, the learned counsel for the petit ioner submits that she is about 14/15 years old. In the 164 Cr.P.C. statement recorded by Nasuma Begum, s he has disclosed her age to be 15 years. After hearing the learned counsel for the parties and on consideration of the materials on record, I am inclined to grant the privilege of pre-arrest bail to the petitioners N. 2,3 and 4. Taking that view, it is prov ided that in the event of arrest of the petitioners No.2,3 and 4, namely, Md. In taz Ali (40 years), Tamina Begum (38 years) and Md. Rafik Ali (17 years), in co nnection with All Women PS Case No. 63/11 under Section 498(A)/307 IPC, they sha ll be released on bail of Rs. 5,000/- each with one local surety each of the lik e amount to the satisfaction of the arresting authority. However, the prayer for pre-arrest bail in respect of pe titioner No.1, Md. Tabib Ali (20 years) is not favourably considered. Accordingly, bail application stands disposed of.
