Heard learned counsel for the applicant, learned AGA for the State as well as the complainant who appears in person and perused the record. In the prosecution case, it is alleged that the bhumidhari Gata No. 156/2.55 acre had been sold in favour of the applicant showing the sale consideration amount of Rs. 16,000/- by way of a forged sale deed executed on 20.8.1971. The applicant filed an application for mutation before the Nayab Tehsildar, but the same has been rejected on 7.9.2020. Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant is innocent. The alleged offences are triable by a Magistrate. It is next submitted that the co-accused Brijesh Kumar Awasthi, who is the main accused, has died. The applicant is a lady. The co- accused Vimlesh and Anil Kumar Singh @ Anil Singh have already been granted bail by the coordinate bench of this Court. The bail orders are on record as Annexure-3 to the bail application. It is further submitted that the applicant has duly explained her criminal history in para no. 20 of the bail application. She being a lady is languishing in jail since 5.1.2024. Charge-sheet in the case has been filed. There is no possibility of the applicant of fleeing away after being released from jail or tampering with the witnesses. In case the applicant is enlarged on bail, she shall not misuse the liberty of bail. Learned A.G.A. as well as the complainant have opposed the prayer for bail and submitted that it is not a case of parity. On due consideration to the submissions advanced, perusal of the record, the bail orders of the aforesaid co-accused so also the fact that the alleged offences are triable by a Magistrate; the applicant has duly explained her criminal history in para no. 20 of the bail application; she being a lady is languishing in jail since 5.1.2024; charge-sheet in the case has been filed and without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, I find it to be a fit case for enlarging the applicant on bail.
