AB 2989/2011 BEFORE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE H. BARUAH Heard Mrs. F. Begum, learned counsel for the petitioner. Also heard Mr. B. B. Go goi, learned Addl. P.P., Assam for the State respondent. On 19.8.2011 an FIR was lodged by one Abul Ali alleging therein that the petitioner herein in the evening of 18.8.2011 at about 6.30 P.M., after assaulting him had snatched away Rs. 5000/- from his possession. On receipt of this information in writing Baihata Chariali P.S. Case No. 172/2011 u/s 294/325/ 379 IPC was registered. The petitioner being apprehensive of his arrest in conne ction with the case as indicated above, preferred this petition u/s 438 CrPC to provide pre-arrest bail to him. In support of the petition, it is submitted by Mrs. Begum, learned co unsel for the petitioner that the allegation of assault as well as snatching awa y of Rs. 5,000/- in cash from the pocket of the first informant are all false an d fabricated. Moreover, nothing has been recovered from the possession of accuse d petitioner. In view of the facts stated above, Mrs. Begum, learned counsel for th e petitioner prays that this is a fit case where the privilege of pre-arrest bai l can be granted to the petitioner. In view of the above submission, I am constraint to scrutinize the m aterials in the case record. The record does not reveal any medical report in re spect of the injured, the first informant. It also does not speak about recovery of money during investigation of the case from the possession of the petitioner herein. This Court, therefore, taking note of all these materials in its en tirety, finds appropriate to provide pre-arrest bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, it is directed that the Investigating Officer of this case shall not arrest the petitioner in connection with the case as referred to above, till 14th of November, 2011. Within the time frame, the petitioner shall approach the learned co urt below and obtain regular bail. With this order, this petition stands disposed of.
