AB 3475/2011 BEFORE THE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE BP KATAKEY Heard Mr. Das, the learned counsel for the petitioners as well as Mr. BS Sinha, learned Public Prosecutor, Assam for the respondents. The petitioners, by the present petition, are seeking the privilege of pre arres t bail under Section 438 Cr.P.C. apprehending arrest in connection with Golakgan j PS Case No. 519/2011 registered under Section 294/323/302/34 IPC. The aforesaid case has been registered on the basis of the FIR lodged by one Jib esh Chandra Roy on 10.10.2011 alleging that the present petitioners first beat t he informant and thereafter when the informant’s brother came to rescue him they attacked and assaulted him with a dagger resulting in his death. Having regard to the offence alleged, I am of the view that if the petitioners a re granted the privilege of pre arrest bail it will definitely hamper the invest igation. Hence the prayer for pre arrest bail stand rejected. The petitioners, however, may surrender before the appropriate court and file ap plication seeking regular bail and in the event such application is filed the sa me shall be considered on merit. The pre arrest bail application stands dismissed.
