Sri Trailya Gogoi and Anr. v. the State of Assam
Case brief
What is this about?
The petitioners, who were arrested in connection with an FIR registering offences under Sections 191(2), 126(2), 117(2), and 109 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) 2023, applied for regular bail under Section 483 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS) 2023. The facts alleged in the FIR that petitioners, along with others, attacked victims during a night time incident, causing serious injuries requiring hospitalization. While the case diary contained incriminating material regarding assault by a blunt weapon, the parties had already appeared before the Investigating Officer pursuant to interim bail, and their statements had been recorded. The court held that in view of the recording of statements, further custodial interrogation of the petitioners was not necessary. Therefore, the prayer for pre-arrest bail was allowed, and the order of interim pre-arrest bail dated 18.06.2026 was made absolute. The petition stood allowed.
