Bail plea denied

By Staff Reporter

GUWAHATI, May 29 - The Gauhati High Court today denied Lt Colonel (Retired) Ashutosh Tripathi pre-arrest bail in connection with the Guijan Wildlife case ( No. 5 2020) relating to illegal hunting and transportation of feral horses in the Tinsukia Wildlife Division.

Special Public Prosecutor BK Mahajan contended that the feral horses in Dibru Saikhowa National Park are dwindling in recent times and the role of the accused in this regard needs to be thoroughly investigated , which is why his custody is necessary to reach to a logical end.

The Court after perusal of the case diary and hearing both the sides refused to allow the accused any kind of relief clearly stating that in the present situation there is not enough ground to believe that the accused is not likely to commit any offence, while on bail. The petitioner was represented by advocate P Deka.
