It is also submitted by referring to the various orders of coordinate Benches of this Court, annexed to the present petition that in similar type of cases, other accused persons have been granted the privilege of anticipatory bail.

Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, considering the submissions made by the learned counsel for the petitioner, taking into account the materials available on record as also considering the categorical averment of the petitioner to the effect that she is now not discharging her duties as a Panchayat Teacher, I deem it fit and proper to admit the petitioner to the privilege of anticipatory bail. Accordingly, the petitioner is directed to be enlarged on anticipatory bail, in the event of her arrest or surrender before the court below within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order, on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 10,000/- (rupees ten thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned
