Having heard both sides, from perusal of the record, it appears that the petitioner has also moved before the Hon'ble Supreme Court and the Hon'ble Supreme Court has also inclined to interfere with the order passed by this Court, however, observed that the petitioner will be at liberty to renew her prayer for bail after nine months. In view of the above facts, let the petitioner above named, be enlarged on bail on furnishing bail bonds of Rs. 25,000/- ( Rs.
