2. This is an application under Section 482 BNSS, 2023 praying for grant of pre- arrest bail to the accused/petitioner, namely, Shaidul Alom Laskar @ Shaidul Alam who is apprehending arrest in connection with Dolamara P.S. Case No. 02/2026 under Sections 303(1)/316(4) of BNS, 2023.

3. Case diary received. Perused the same.

4. It is submitted by Ms Bora, learned counsel that after obtaining the order of interim pre-arrest bail, the petitioner appeared before the I.O. and his statement has already been recorded and he is cooperating in the investigation of the case.

5. However, the petitioner is still ready and willing to extend his cooperation in the further investigation of this case, if he is granted with the privilege of pre-arrest bail.

6. Mr. Kaushik, learned APP submitted that the petitioner appeared and gave the same statement before the I.O., however, from the note of the I.O. it reveals that he is not cooperating in the investigation of the case in the manner he ought to have extended his cooperation.

7. Hearing the submissions made by the learned counsel for the parties and considering the materials available in the case diary, this Court is of the opinion that custodial interrogation of the petitioner may not be required for the purpose of investigation of the case and accordingly, I find it a fit case to extend the privilege of pre-arrest bail to the petitioner.

8. In view of this, the interim bail granted to the present petitioner vide order dated 05.03.2026 is hereby made absolute on the same terms and conditions with a further direction, that the petitioner shall extend his cooperation in the investigation of this case as and when, his cooperation will be required.
