AB 346/2010 BEFORE THE HON’BLE MR JUSTICE K. MERUNO Heard Mr. L. Talukdar, learned counsel appearing for the petitioner. Als o heard Mr. A.C. Buragohain, learned Ss.C. CBI. The learned Standing Counsel, CBI has also produced the case Diary as directed b y this Court. I have perused the same. The petitioner is a retired Govt. servant who retired as Deputy General Manager, FCI. It is alleged that during his tenure he had committed certain offence for which Spl. (CBI) Case No. RC 12(A)/2010 u/s. 120B, 420,468, 471 IPC and Section 13(2) read with Sec. 13(1)(d) of the Prevention of Corruption Act has been regi stered a case against him and in this view of the matter he is praying for pre-a rrest bail. Upon perusal of the C.D. it appears that since this particular case pertains on the document which has been collected and kept in the custody of the CBI, the ca se would be proved only through the document and as such without detention of th e petitioner will not hamper the investigation of the case. However, the petitio ner is a retired Govt. servant who is not likely to abscond or stand trial, I am of the considered view that the petitioner can be allowed to go on pre-arrest bail. Accordingly it is directed that in the event of arrest in connection with the ab ove case the petitioner Sri Anath Chandra Das shall be released on executing a b ail bond of Rs. 20,000/- with one local surety of the like amount subject to sat isfaction of the arresting authority on condition that he shall make himself ava ilable before the Investigating Agency as and when required and also shall not l eave the jurisdiction of the learned Special Judge (CBI), Guwahati without prior permission. The petitioner shall also extend all co-operation to the Investiga ting Agency to complete the investigation. With the above direction this bail application is disposed of to the extent as i ndicated above.
