AB 1319/2011 BEFORE THE HON’BLE MR JUSTICE C.R.. SARMA Heard Mr. J. Borah, learned counsel, appearing for the petitioners. Also heard M r. K. Munir, learned Addl. Public Prosecutor, appearing for the State-respondent . This is an application, filed under Section 438 Cr.P.C., seeking pre-arrest bail in favour of the petitioners, namely (1) Md. Mannaf Choudhury and (2) Mrs. Lakh ima Begum Choudhury @ Lakhima Bibi Choudhury, in connection with Mukalmua P.S. C ase No.16/2011, under Sections 366A/376/323 IPC. Perused the Case Diary. Having heard the learned counsel, appearing for both the parties and considering the materials on record, more particularly, the statement of the victim girl ma de under Section 164 C.P.C., I do not find it to be a fit case to extend the ben efit of pre-arrest bail in favour of the petitioner No.1. Hence, the prayer for pre-arrest bail made in favour of the petitioner No.1 Md. Mannaf Choudhury is r ejected. However, considering the materials on record, I find no reason, requiring custod ial detention of petitioner No.2, who is the mother of the petitioner No.1. Acco rdingly, it is directed that, in the event of arrest of petitioner No.2 Mrs. Lak hima Begum Choudhury @ Lakhima Bibi Choudhury, in connection with the above ment ioned case, she shall be released on bail of Rs.20,000/- (rupees twenty thousand )only with one surety of the like amount to the satisfaction of the arresting au thority. However, it is directed that, the petitioner No.2 shall make herself av ailable to the Investigating Officer as and when so required for the purpose of investigation. With the above direction, this A.B. Application is disposed of. Return the Case Diary.
