AB 862/2011 BEFORE HON’BLE MR JUSTICE AC UPADHYAY Heard Mr. S.Chauhan, learned counsel for the accused/petitioners and Mr.B.B. Gog oi, learned Addl. P.P. Assam. This is an application U/s. 438 CrPC seeking pre-ar rest bail on behalf of the petitioners, namely, Sri Janardan Chauhan, Sri Munna Chauhan, Sri Chandan Chauhan and Smti Gayatri Devi in connection with Kheroni P.S. Case No. 8/2011 U/s 498-A/325/506 IPC. The case diary has been received. On perusal of the c ase diary and other materials available on record and also on perusal of the FIR it appears that the accused/petitioner No.1, Sri Janardan Chauhan tortured his wife both physically and mentally. It is also alleged that her signature was fo rcefully obtained in a plain paper by the accused/petitioner No.1. On careful perusal of the case diary and the materials on record and also considering the progress of investigation of this case, I am of the considered view that grant of pre-arrest bail to the petitioners would not adversely effect further investigation of the case and this is a fit case for granting the privilege of pre-arrest bail to the accused petitioners above named. Accordingly, it is provided that in the event of arrest of th e accused/petitioners above named they shall be enlarged on bail of Rs. 10,000 /- each with one local surety of the like amount to the satisfaction of the arr esting authority on the conditions that they shall appear before the I.O. as an d when required and shall cooperate with the investigation of the case. The bail application stands disposed of.
