AB 3501/2011 BEFORE THE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE BP KATAKEY Heard Mr. Dutta, the learned counsel for the petitioner as well as Mr. BS Sinha, learned Public Prosecutor, Assam for the respondents. The petitioner, by the present petition, is seeking the privilege of pre arrest bail under Section 438 Cr.P.C. apprehending arrest in connection with Silapathar PS Case No. 271/2011 registered under Section 376 IPC, which police station cas e has been registered on the basis of the FIR lodged by Sri Ajit Kakati, the fat her of the alleged victim. Having regard to the nature of the allegation and keeping in view that the inves tigation would definitely be hampered, I am of the view that it is not a fit cas e where the privilege of pre arrest bail can be granted to the petitioner. Hence the prayer for pre arrest bail stand rejected. The pre arrest bail application stands dismissed.
