AB 1843/2011 BEFORE THE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE AC UPADHYAY This is an application under Section 438 of Cr.P.C., seeking pre-arrest bail of the accused-petitioners, namely, (1) Shri Noni Goapl Dutta, (2) Shri Shankar Dut ta, and (3) Shri Arabindu Dutta, in connection with Silchar P.S. Case No. 865/20 11 under Sections 420 IPC, corresponding to G.R. Case No. 1850 of 2011. Heard Mr. A.A.R.Karim, learned counsel appearing for the petitioners, and Mr. K. Munir, learned Addl. P.P. for the State of Assam. Learned Addl. P.P. by producing the Case Diary has apprised the Court regarding the progress of investigation. Learned counsel for the petitioners has submitted that the daughter of the first informant was given in marriage with the 2nd son of the petitioner No.1, who wa s subsequently found to be lunatic. For that a village Bichar was held. In the said Bichar it was decided that the petitioner No.1, i.e., the father of the gr oom, would pay Rs.1,00,000/- to the father of the bride to compensate the losses sustained by the latter. The present complaint has been lodged for non-payment of compensation of Rs.1,00,000/- as decided in the village Bichar. Considering the facts and circumstances leading to filing of the complaint and a lso the materials on record, I am of the considered view that there are no suffi cient incriminating materials warranting their custodial interrogation in connec tion with this case. Moreover, in the event of release of the accused-petitioner s on bail, further investigation of the case shall not be adversely affected. Accordingly, it is provided that in the event of arrest of the petitioners, name ly, (1) Shri Noni Goapl Dutta, (2) Shri Shankar Dutta, and (3) Shri Arabindu Dut ta, in connection with the case aforementioned, they shall be released on bail o n their furnishing bond of Rs.10,000/- with one surety of the like amount each t o the satisfaction of the arresting authority on condition that they shall coope rate with the investigating agency and shall make themselves available to the I/ O of the case as and when required. With the above directions, this bail application stands disposed of.
