AB 218/2011 BEFORE THE HON’BLE MR JUSTICE MUTUM B.K. SINGH Heard Mr. A. Ahmed, learned counsel appearing for the petitioner as well as Mr. K. Munir, learned Senior Public Prosecutor. This application has been filed for grant of pre-arrest bail apprehendin g that the petitioner may be arrested in connection with Nagaon PS Case No.2057/ 2010 corresponding with G.R. No.3858/ 2010, under Section 498(A) IPC. I have carefully perused the Case Diary as produced by the learned Addl. Public Prosecutor. No sufficient evidence is forthcoming at this stage of inves tigation to substantiate the allegations that the petitioner harassed the inform ant and tortured her mentally, except the evidence that the petitioner and the i nformant are not living together in the house of the petitioner. The learned cou nsel appearing for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is a businessman b y profession and he will abide by the direction of this Court if he is allowed t o go on bail. Considering the evidence on record, I am of the considered view that the petitioner has made out a good prima facie case for grant of pre-arrest bail in his favour. Consequently, it is ordered that in the event of arrest of the petitione r Md. Rafiul Hussain, within a period of 20 (twenty) days in connection with the said PS Case, he shall be allowed to go on bail on his furnishing a personal bo nd of Rs. 10,000/- (Rupees ten thousand) with surety of like amount to the satis faction of the arresting authority. In the meanwhile, the petitioner is at liber ty to approach the competent Court for regular bail, if so advised. This petition stands disposed of.
