For the Respondent :

Hon'ble Shri Justice Goutam Bhaduri Order on Board 03.11.2015

1. Apprehending arrest in connection with Crime No.230/2015 registered at Police Station Dondilohara Distt. Balod (C.G) for the offences punishable under Sections 420, 467, 468/34 IPC, the applicant has filed this application under Section 438 Cr.P.C., for grant of anticipatory bail.

2. As per the prosecution case, the allegation against the applicant is that she has received an amount of Rs.5,95,000/- from six persons to provide jobs in Government Department and thereafter, forged appointment orders were issued, thereby, the offence of cheating was committed.

3. Learned counsel for the applicant submits that she has been falsely implicated in this case and the main role was played by Ajay Dhruv, brother of the applicant and she has not played any role in commission of crime. He prays the applicant may be enlarged on anticipatory bail.

4. Per contra, learned State Counsel opposes the prayer for grant of bail and submits that the applicant herself has received the amount

and consequently her involvement in the offence cannot be denied.

5. Taking into account the nature of offence, I am not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the applicant, as perusal of case diary would indicate that it is not a case wherein it can be assumed that custodial interrogation may not be required.

6. Accordingly, the anticipatory bail application is dismissed. Sd/- GOUTAM BHADURI JUDGE /Rao/
