ORDER
15.06.2026 Heard Mr. A.K. Azad, learned counsel for the petitioners. Also heard Mr. P.S. Lahkar, learned APP for the State.
2. This application has been filed under Section 483 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 seeking grant of bail to the accused-petitioners, namely Semima Akhtara and Ramjan Hussain, who have been in custody since 29.12.2024 and 21.03.2025 respectively in connection with Rangia P.S. Case No. 352/2024 registered under Sections 103(1)/3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 corresponding to Sessions Case No. 18/2025 pending before the Court of the learned Additional District and Sessions Judge, Rangia, Kamrup.
3. The learned counsel for the petitioners has submitted that on an earlier occasion, this Court had rejected the prayer for bail by order dated 24.04.2026 after perusal of the TCR. It is further submitted that till date 4 witnesses have been examined on behalf of the prosecution and that the prosecution has cited as many as 17 witnesses.
4. The learned APP has submitted that the offences alleged against the accused-petitioners are grievous and since several witnesses remain to be examined, the accused-petitioners may not be granted bail.
5. Considering the stage of the trial, the length of detention undergone by the petitioners and the fact that one of the co-accused has already been enlarged on bail, this Court is inclined to grant the privilege of bail to the petitioners.
6. Accordingly, the petitioners, namely Semima Akhtara and Ramjan Hussain who were arrested in connection with Rangia P.S. Case No. 352/2024 under Sections 103(1)/3(5) of the BNS, 2023 corresponding to Sessions Case No. 18/2025 pending before the Court of the learned Additional District and Sessions Judge, Rangia, Kamrup are directed to be released on bail on furnishing a bail bond of Rs.30,000/- each with two sureties of the like amount to the satisfaction of the learned Additional District and Sessions Judge, Rangia, Kamrup subject to the following conditions that :
(i) The petitioners shall not abscond and shall remain available before the learned trial Court as and when required;
(ii) The petitioners shall not hamper or tamper with the evidence on record; and
(iii) The petitioners shall not directly or indirectly make any inducement threat or promise to any person acquainted with the facts of the case nor shall they attempt to contact or influence any witness in any manner whatsoever.
7. Any violation of the aforesaid conditions shall render the bail granted to the petitioners liable to be cancelled.
8. With the above observations and directions the present bail application stands disposed of. JUDGE Comparing Assistant
