Prin. Secy. Home And Another Counsel for Applicant :- O.P. Tiwari,Jainendra Singh Counsel for Opposite Party :- G.A. Hon'ble Rajesh Singh Chauhan,J. 1. Heard Sri O.P. Tiwari, learned counsel for the applicant and Sri Birbhan Singh, learned Additional Government Advocate for the State. 2. In view of the proposed order notice to opposite party no. 2 is being dispensed with. 3. This anticipatory bail application has been preferred by the applicant apprehending his arrest in Case Crime No. 210 of 2018 u/s 332, 353, 146, 506, 427 IPC & 7 Criminal Law Amendment Act, P.S. Maurawan, District Unnao. 4. Learned counsel for the applicant has submitted that the present applicant has been falsely implicated in this case as she has not committed any offence as alleged in the prosecution story. During investigation the present applicant has cooperated in the investigation, therefore, she has not been arrested. Now the charge-sheet has been filed in this case. It has further been submitted that since the applicant is a lady, she may be given the benefit of section 437 Cr.P.C. 5. Learned AGA has stated that the offence under which the F.I.R has been lodged is having punishment only up to seven years, therefore, instead of filing anticipatory bail application the applicant should approach the learned court concerned seeking benefit of dictum of Apex Court in re: Satender Kumar Antil vs. CBI and others in Special Leave to Appeal (Criminal) No.5191 of 2021. 6. Be that as it may, since the offence under which the charge-sheet has been filed is having punishment up to seven years, therefore, the applicant may be given the benefit of dictum of Apex Court in re: Satender Kuamr Antil (supra). Besides, during investigation the petitioner cooperated in the investigation and has not been arrested, the applicant being a lady is also liable to get the benefit of section 437 Cr.P.C. therefore, in view of dictum of Apex Court in re: Aman Preet Singh vs. C.B.I. through Director, Criminal Appeal No.929 of 2021 he may not be arrested in routine manner after filing of the charge-sheet unless there is any cogent reason to that effect. 7. Therefore, without entering into the merits of the issue, I dispose of this anticipatory bail application finally at the admission stage giving liberty to the applicant to surrender before the learned court concerned within three weeks and may file her bail application. If the same application is filed, the learned court concerned shall consider and dispose of the same expeditiously preferably on the same day in the light of the Satender Kumar Antil (supra). While considering her bail application the learned court concerned shall also follow the dictum of Aman Preet Singh (supra). .
