AB 3606/2011 BEFORE THE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE C.R. SARMA Heard Mr. H.R.A. Choudhury, learned senior counsel appearing for the petitioner and Mr. K. Munir, learned Additional Public Prosecutor, Assam for the State resp ondent. This is an application under Section 438 Cr. P.C. praying for pre-arrest bail by the accused, Md. Idrish Ali, in Connection with CID P.S. Case No. 27/2010 under Sections 465/466/468/471/511/120(B) IPC. Perused the case diary. The allegation brought in the FIR relates to fraudulent drawal of medical reimbu rsement by the Govt. employees including the petitioner. The learned senior coun sel appearing for the petitioner has submitted that the petitioner retired from service on 30.4.1997 and he did nothing except submitting pension papers. From the FIR, it appears that the petitioner made an attempt for fraudulent with drawal of medical reimbursement by submitting the documents. The learned senior counsel also submitted that the petitioner, being a retired person, had no role to play towards withdrawal of medical reimbursement and that the petitioner has no knowledge as to what was done by the office concerned. In view of the above, considering the entire aspects of the matter and also keep ing in mind that the petitioner has already retired from service in 1997, I am o f the opinion that custodial interrogation of the petitioner is not necessary fo r the purpose of investigation. Therefore, the interim order, passed on 14.11.2 011, is hereby made absolute subject to the condition that the petitioner shall not interfere with the investigation in any manner and shall make available hims elf before the investigating officer as and when required. Return the case diary. The bail application is disposed of.
