Cr. Misc. No.M-16196 of 2019 [2] the complainant for sending him to America. The complainant was not sent to America nor his money was returned. There is also allegation that when the complainant demanded back his money, the petitioner came to him in the uniform of a Police Inspector and threatened him to implicate falsely in a rape case.

The petitioner has been in judicial custody since 27.12.2018. The offences are triable by the Judicial Magistrate Ist Class. The petitioner, who is in judicial custody, is no more required for any interrogation and investigation purposes. The trial of the case is likely to take long time. No useful purpose will be served by keeping the petitioner in custody till the final disposal of the case.

Therefore, keeping in view the facts and circumstances of the present case; without discussing the facts in minute detail and without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, this criminal miscellaneous petition is allowed and the petitioner is ordered to be released on bail subject to her furnishing personal bond in the sum of `50,000/- with one surety in the like amount to the satisfaction of the trial Court/Duty Magistrate.
