AB 3547/2011 BEFORE THE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE B.P. KATAKEY Heard Mr. Bhattacharjee, learned counsel for the applicants and Mr. Sinha, learn ed PP, Assam. The applicants, namely (i) Saibar Ali; (ii) Siafar Rahman; (iii) Sanbhari Bewa a nd (iv) Md. Sahar Ali, are seeking the privilege of pre-arrest bail under Sectio n 438 Cr. P.C. apprehending arrest in connection with Golokganj P.S. Case No.495 /2011 registered under Section 109/366-A/34 IPC. The aforesaid police station case has been registered on the basis of the FIR lo dged on 23rd September, 2011 by one Abdul Goni SK, father of the victim girl, wh o was stated to be below 17 (seventeen) years age. Having regard to the nature of allegation made in the FIR lodged and also it app ears from the materials available in the records, I am of the view that for the purpose of investigation, the applicants are required to be taken into custody a nd hence the privilege of pre-arrest bail cannot be granted to the applicants, a s it will hamper the investigation. That being the position, the prayer for pre-arrest bail stands rejected.
