Heard learned advocate for the applicant, learned APP for the State and learned advocate for the informant. Perused the investigation papers.

Learned APP, on instructions from the investigating officer present in the Court fairly submits that no evidence connecting the applicant to the present crime is found during the investigation. 6.

In view of above, applicant being a lady, is entitled for bail. 7.

In the result, application is allowed.
