P.C. :

1.

This is an application for Anticipatory Bail. 2.

The applicant is apprehending her arrest in Crime No. 222 of 2025 registered at R.C.F. Police Station, for the offences punishable under Sections 316(2) and 318(4) of the Bhartiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023.

3.

The allegations against the applicant are of defrauding the first informant to the tune of Rs. 4,50,000/-. 4.

The learned counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant has paid the amount of Rs. 4,50,000/- to the daughter of 1/3

the first informant towards deposit for taking the premises owned by them on leave and license basis. It is submitted that false allegations are made to grab the said amount. 5.

On the other hand, the learned APP for the respondentState submits that the present applicant defrauded the first informant to the tune of Rs. 4,50,000/-. It is submitted that considering the nature of crime, the applicant may not be released on anticipatory bail.

6.

Prima-facie, the version of the first informant in respect of the payment of amount of Rs. 4,50,000/- to the present applicant does not appear to be probable. According to her she paid the said amount to the applicant, as she misrepresented to her that she had paid the said amount to one Dharmshil Tiwari with whom the first informant had some transaction. According to the first informant after paying the said amount to the applicant, she verified from Dharmshil Tiwari and found no such amount was paid by the applicant to Dharmshil Tiwari. Prima-facie, the version of the first informant does not appear to be probable. There appears to be no need for custodial interrogation as nothing is to be recovered. In that view of the matter, I am inclined to release 2/3

the applicant on anticipatory bail. In the result, the following order is passed :

O R D E R

a) The Application is allowed.

b) In the event of arrest of the applicant in connection with Crime No. 222 of 2025 registered at R.C.F. Police Station, for the offences punishable under Sections 316(2) and 318(4) of the Bhartiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023. The applicant be released on bail on furnishing P.R. Bond in the sum of Rs. 25,000/- with one or two sureties in the like amount.

c) The applicant shall attend the concerned police station as and when called by the investigating officer and shall co-operate in the investigation.
