The present applicant is apprehending her arrest in Case Crime No.376/2024 under Sections 115(2), 10, 105, 318(4) and 324 (5) B.N.S., 2023 and Section 7 of Criminal Law Amendment Act, Police Station- Sarojini Nagar, District Lucknow. The applicant has been falsely implicated in the present case as she has not committed any offence as alleged in the prosecution story. Attention has been drawn towards impugned FIR which was lodged against her husband. 3. At the very outset, learned counsel for the applicant has stated that the incident in question which took place on 07.09.2024 was an unfortunate incident which was beyond the control of the present applicant, inasmuch as mainly due to two reasons, the incident in question had taken place. Firstly, due to heavy rains in the month of September, the building in question got affected and secondly due to two truck having rammed into the building in question, the building got damaged. In such incident, eight persons died. Learned counsel for the applicant has further stated that the investigation is going on and the applicant undertakes that she will cooperate in the investigation and shall not misuse the liberty of anticipatory bail, if granted. She being an old aged lady may not be taken into judicial custody when she is having her permanent address and there is no flight risk. 4. Attention has been drawn towards Annexure-5 which is a anticipatory bail order dated 17.10.2024 granted by this Court in favour of her husband Rakesh Kumar Singhal, therefore, she pressed pairity with her husband. Learned counsel has further stated that her husband Rakesh Kumar Singhal is a critical heart and cancer patient and she is the only person to look-after him, therefore, this may be one more reason seeking anticipatory bail. 5. Learned Additional Advocate General Sri V.K. Shahi has however opposed the aforesaid bail application but on the aforesaid submission of learned counsel for the applicant, he has stated that the applicant may be directed to cooperate in the investigation properly till filing of the police report. 6. Before granting anticipatory bail to the present applicant till completion of the investigation and filing of the police report, the applicant is directed to appear before the Investigating Officer on 17.03.2025 at 11:30 a.m. Thereafter, she shall abide by all the directions of the Investigating Officer regarding her cooperation in the investigation. she shall provide all the required material/evidences which are within her possession to the investigating officer as and when the same is demanded. In a nutshell, her proper cooperation in the investigation would be the paramount consideration to keep her out of judicial custody, failing which any appropriate application may be filed by the investigating officer in the Court and any appropriate order may be passed thereon. 7. Therefore, it is directed that in the event of arrest, applicant- Smt. Kumkum Singhal @ Kumkum shall be released on anticipatory bail in the aforesaid case crime number, till completion of investigation and filing of police report on her furnishing a personal bond of Rs. 2,00,000/- with two sureties each in the like amount to the satisfaction of the arresting authority/ court concerned with the following conditions:- (i).
