with which the petitioner was arrested and is incarcerated for the last 54 days was lodged on 14.07.2026 by the eight complainants stating inter alia that they had appeared in the selection for recruitment in Assam Rifles on compassionate ground but they were not successful and that later they came in contact with the petitioner, who had assured them that he can arrange jobs for them in the Assam Rifles. It was further stated that the petitioner took Rs. 3,50,000/- from each of the complainant and had given appointment letters to them but it was found out later that the said appointment letter was fake.

The learned Counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is not entirely responsible for the said offence and that there was another two persons who had used him for the said offence.

Mr. R.J. Baruah, learned Additional Public Prosecutor on perusal of the Case Diary submits that all the complainants had implicated the petitioner to have assured them for jobs and of taking money from them by online transfer. He further stated that the petitioner was interrogated and the petitioner had although named two other persons of their involvement in the offence but the phone numbers that the petitioner gave to the police personnel could not be tracked.

¶21

Upon consideration of the submissions made by the learned Counsel for the parties, more so, in view of the fact that the petitioner was inside the jail for 54 days and that his interrogation is also over and that two other offenders are yet to be found out, this Court deems it fit to enlarge the petitioner on bail on furnishing of bail bond of Rs. 20,000/- with one local surety of the like amount to the satisfaction of CJM, Kamrup(M), under the following conditions:
