2. This application has been filed by the elder brother of the accused Shri Khyoda Tako as the accused at the time of filing of this bail application, was inside the jail custody in connection with some other police case.

3. By order dated 14.08.2026, while calling for the scanned copy of the

Case Diary, this Court granted interim pre-arrest bail to the accused and directed that, in the event of his arrest in connection with Itanagar P.S. Case No. 212/2026 registered under Section 305(b) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, he shall be released on interim pre-arrest bail on furnishing of a bail bond of Rs. 20,000/- subject to certain conditions, including the condition that he shall appear before the investigating officer within 10(ten) days from the date of the order and cooperate with the investigation and thereafter, he shall before the investigating officer as and when called for.

4. Mr. Lampu, learned counsel for the applicant, submits that in compliance with the said directions, the accused appeared before the investigating officer on 21.08.2026. On such appearance, the investigating officer recorded the statement of the accused, however, he was not shown arrested as his arrest was not required.

5. The learned Addl. Public Prosecutor, Arunachal Pradesh, while referring to the Case Diary, submits that the accused appeared before the investigating officer of the case on 21.08.2026 and his statement was also recorded. He further submits that, since the alleged missing/stolen scooty has already been recovered and the accused is cooperating with the investigation of the case, his further custodial interrogation/remand is not presently required. He, therefore, has no objection if the interim pre-arrest bail granted to the accused, is made absolute, subject to such additional conditions as may be necessary to ensure his continued cooperation with the investigation of the case.

6. I have considered the submissions advanced by the learned counsels for the parties and also perused the available record.
