Meanwhile, the High Court also rejected the anticipatory bail of Ashirbad Hazarika, former Executive Magistrate of Dalgaon.

While hearing the case on Friday, Justice Robin Phukan granted public prosecutor M. Phukon two days time for submitting the statements of petitioners, namely Ajanta Bordoloi, Anupam Sarma, and Arun Chandra Deka.

The Gauhati High Court further directed the public prosecutor to present the updated case diary on November 14 without any delay.
