ORDER
22.04.2026 Heard Mr. A.K. Ahmed, learned counsel for the petitioner. Also heard Mr. K.K. Parashar, learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the State of Assam.
2. This is an application has been filed under Section 483 of the BNSS, 2023, praying for granting bail to the petitioner, namely, Manowar Hussain, who is in custody since 26.02.2026, in connection with Baihata Chariali PS Case No. 41/2026 registered under Section 281/125(b)/117(2)/109/3(5) of the BNS, 2023.
3. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner, being a mechanic by profession, was riding the motorcycle for testing purposes when, during such testing, the vehicle accidentally hit the brother of the informant, causing him some injuries. It is contended that the incident was purely accidental in nature and not a deliberate act or an attempt to cause injury to any person on the roadside. It is further submitted that the petitioner has already been in custody for a period of 56 days, and therefore, he may be granted the privilege of bail.
4. The learned APP submits that the case diary has been received. The learned APP has submitted that the IO has objections to the grant of bail to the petitioner at this stage of investigation since the allegations are serious. On perusal by the Court, the CD does not indicate any prior enmity between the petitioner and the injured person.
5. Having regard to the length of detention of the petitioner and upon consideration of the contents of the case diary, this Court is of the opinion that the petitioner may be allowed the privilege of bail. Accordingly, the petitioner, namely, Manowar Hussain, shall be released on bail upon furnishing a bond of
Rs. 30,000/- with two sureties, one of whom shall be a local person and the other shall possess immovable property within the jurisdiction of the learned SDJM, Rangia, to the satisfaction of the said Court. The learned SDJM shall be at liberty to impose such further conditions as may be deemed necessary.
6. Bail application is disposed of. JUDGE Comparing Assistant
