ORDER
17.07.2026 Heard Mr. S. K. Goswami, learned counsel appearing for the accused petitioner as well as Mr. K. K. Parasar, learned Addl. P.P., Assam appearing for the State respondent.
2. This petition under Section 483 of the BNSS, 2023 has been filed by the accused-petitioner, namely, Amit Kumar Rai, praying for grant of bail in connection with Dispur P.S. Case No.345/2026 under Sections 316(2)/318(4) /336(3) /61(2) of the BNS Act.
3. An earlier bail petition on behalf of the petitioner and co-accused was rejected on 02.07.2026 in BA 1688/2026.
4. The ejahar was lodged by Sanjib Deb Choudhury, AR of OM Innovative LLP, for and on behalf of OM Innovative LLP and FFTC Projects Pvt. Ltd. It is stated that two companies work in close association with each other and share common directors. It is alleged, inter alia, that Amit Kumar Rai, an employee of FFTC Projects Pvt. Ltd., have abused his position of trust and authority and induced the co-conspirator and co-accused businesses and their owners/shops to raise deliberately inflated, false and fabricated bills against the companies for electrical materials and services. It is stated that the extra amount/inflated amount was transferred to the bank account of the wife of Amit Kumar Rai, i.e. Kanchan Kumari, through said co-conspirator and co-accused businesses and the owners/shops. It is stated that for the period covering from 28.08.2025 to 27.05.2026 almost Rs.23,82,107/- was deposited in the bank account of Kanchan Kumari, out of which Rs.8,67,395/- has already been withdrawn.
4. It is submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioner that in the meantime, the petitioner and the informant have arrived at a settlement whereby he had given a part of the money and undertakes to pay the remaining amount.
5. Mr. N. Barman, learned counsel for the informant also appears and supporting the affidavit, submits that the informant has no objection to granting bail in terms of the settlement. He submits that the petitioner has undertaken to pay the remaining amount pursuant to the settlement.
6. I have also heard the learned Additional Public Prosecutor.
7. In the context of subsequent developments narrated and discussed above, I am of the view that this subsequent bail petition can be allowed at this stage itself by granting bail to the petitioner.
8. Accordingly, it is provided that the accused petitioner, named above, shall be released on bail of Rs.30,000/- with one suitable surety of like amount to the satisfaction of learned concerned court subject to the following conditions that the petitioner:
(a) shall co-operate with the process of law.
9. Accordingly, this bail application stands allowed and disposed of.
