For Respondent : Mr.A.Robinson (Crl.Side), Government Advocate (Crl.Side) PETITION FOR ANTICIPATORY BAIL Under Sec.438 of Cr.P.C PRAYER :- For Anticipatory Bail in Crime No.1 of 2020 on the file of the Respondent Police.

2. The petitioner apprehending arrest at the hands of the respondent police for the offences punishable under sections 408, 420, 468, 471, 477A, 120B of I.P.C., in Crime No.1 of 2020 on the file of the respondent police, seeks anticipatory bail. 3.This Court directed the petitioner to appear before the respondent. Accordingly, the petitioner appeared before the respondent and she had also been interrogated. The case against the petitioner appears to be that there was a lapse in overseeing. 4.I am of the view that the arrest of the petitioner is not warranted. The petitioner is based in Chennai and she is a lady. Since the arrest of the petitioner is not going to serve any purpose, I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/ 1/2
