CRM No.M-37359 of 2015 -2found innocent and she was summoned under Section 319 Cr.P.C. by the trial Court. As the petitioner did not appear before the trial Court despite service, therefore, she was declared proclaimed offender. Further, I find that the petitioner herself surrendered before the trial court on 09.04.2015 and since then, she is in custody. The petitioner is not required for any investigation or interrogation purposes and she is only to appear before the trial Court to face trial. The trial of the case will take long time. No useful purpose will be served by keeping the petitioner in custody till the final disposal of the case.

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, the present petition is allowed and the petitioner is ordered to be released on bail subject to her furnishing personal bonds in the sum of `50,000/- with one surety in the like amount to the satisfaction of the trial Court/Duty Magistrate.
