ORDER
02.09.2026
03. 1. Heard learned counsel for the Petitioner and learned counsel for the State.
2. The Petitioner is seeking pre-arrest bail in connection with G.R. Case No.605 of 2026 pending on the file of learned J.M.F.C., Basudevpur, arising out of Basudevpur P.S. Case No.326 of 2026 for commission of offences punishable under Sections 109(1), 115(2), 118(2) and 296 of BNS.
3. Learned counsel for the State opposes the prayer for pre-arrest bail.
4. Taking into account the nature of allegations and the submissions of the learned counsel for the State on perusal of the Case Diary, that the injury suffered is simple in nature notwithstanding the objection of the learned counsel for the informant, this Court is persuaded to hold custodial interrogation of the Petitioner is not warranted. Hence, this Court directs that on surrendering within three weeks hence and moving for bail, the Petitioner shall be released on bail by the learned Court in seisin on such terms as deemed just and proper.
5. To allay the apprehension for the learned counsel for the informant of threat perception, it is directed that the Petitioner shall appear before the jurisdictional Police Station once a fortnight for the next two months at 11:30 a.m. on such date and time to be fixed by the learned Court in seisin till submission of final form and she shall not be detained beyond one hour. Certification of such appearance shall be submitted to the learned Court in seisin.
The Investigating Agency be alive to the fact that the Petitioner is a lady.
6. It is needless to state that the Petitioner shall cooperate with the ongoing investigation.
7. Accordingly, the ABLAPL stands disposed of.
