ORDER
27.08
. 2026 Heard Mr. N. Mahajan, learned counsel, assisted by Mr. A. Chaudhury, learned counsel for the petitioners. Also heard Mr. K.K. Parasar, learned Addl. P.P
for the State of Assam.
2. This is an application under Section 483 of the BNSS, 2023 for granting bail to the accused/petitioners, namely, Rumena Begum and Runjun Begum, who are the mother in-law and sister in-law of the informant respectively, in connection with Jalukbari P.S. Case No. 332/2026 registered under Section 61 (2)/ 356 (4)/ 79 of BNS, 2023 read with Section 67 (A) of the Information Technology (Amendment) Act, 2008.
3. The petitioners were arrested on 23.08.2026.
4. Mr. N. Mahajan, learned counsel for the petitioner, has submitted that the petitioner No.1 had informed the police authorities of Jalukbari Police out-post on 21.01.2026 levelling allegations that the death of her son by suicide was abated by the informant in the present case were the petitioners are seeking bail.
5. By drawing the attention of this Court to the FIR lodged by the informant against the present petitioner, he has submitted that the only allegations which are levelled against the present petitioners are circulation of some intimate photographs of the informant therein. He has prayed that further custodial interrogation of the petitioners may not be necessary, as the evidence would be a matter of electronic evidence which the investigating authority would have by now recovered.
6. The learned Addl. P.P. has submitted that the Case Diary of the investigation would be made available on 17.09.2026.
7. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, and to the fact that both the petitioners are women and, further, that the allegations are of circulation of photographs, I am of the considered opinion that the further custodial interrogation, for the present, with regard to the petitioners may not be necessary and the petitioners can be allowed the privilege of a bail, awaiting the Case Diary.
8. Accordingly, it is directed that the petitioners shall be released on bail on furnishing a bail bond of Rs.10,000/- each with one surety of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Kamrup (M), Guwahati.
9. The continuance of the privilege granted today shall be reconsidered on receipt of the Case Diary. JUDGE Comparing Assistant
