ORDER
22.04.2026 Heard Mr. T.H. Hazarika, learned counsel for the petitioners. Also heard Mr. K. Baishya, learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the State of Assam. This is an application filed under Section 482 of the BNSS, 2023, praying for pre-arrest bail to the petitioners, namely, Jitumoni Barman and Prasenjit Mitra, who have been in custody, in connection with Mukalmua PS Case No.263/2025 registered under Sections 316(2)/318(2) of the BNS, 2023. This Court had granted interim protection to the petitioners vide order dated 19.12.2025, directing them to appear before the Investigating Officer and cooperate with the investigation. The learned counsel for the petitioners submits that, in compliance with the said order, the petitioners have already appeared before the Investigating Officer and have produced all materials in their possession relevant to the investigation. It is noticed by this Court that the case diary could not be produced on 04.02.2026, 20.02.2026, 18.03.2026, and even on the present date.
In the above circumstances, this Court is of the opinion that the interim protection granted to the petitioners be made absolute, subject to the condition that the petitioners shall appear before the Investigating Authority as and when required and shall continue to cooperate with the investigation. In the event of any failure on the part of the petitioners to comply with the aforesaid condition, it shall be open to the prosecution to bring the same to the notice of the appropriate Court for reconsideration of bail. With the above observations, this anticipatory bail application stands disposed of. JUDGE Comparing Assistant
