1. Heard counsel for the applicant, Sri V.P. Tripathi, learned A.G.A. for the State and perused the material placed on record. 2. The instant application has been filed with the prayer to grant anticipatory bail to the applicant in Case Crime No. 184 of 2024, under Sections 420, 467, 468, 471, 447, 147, 120B of I.P.C., Police Station- Bilhaur, District- Kanpur Nagar. 3. Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant was not named in the first information report and has been falsely implicated in the present case. The applicant was one of the bonafide purchasers of the part-portion of the disputed property. The sale-deed was executed by the co-accused, Savitri Devi @ Rajjo. The stamp fees and sale consideration were duly paid by the applicant and other purchasers. The applicant herself is the victim of the fraud. At this stage, there is no credible evidence to link the applicant with the offence. The applicant is a lady and has no criminal antecedent. The investigation is still pending. It is next submitted that the applicant has apprehension of her arrest and in case, the applicant is granted anticipatory bail, she will not misuse the said liberty. 4. Learned A.G.A. has opposed the prayer for anticipatory bail but could not satisfactorily dispute the aforesaid submissions from the record. 5. Counsel for the applicant further submits that the application for grant of anticipatory bail be confined only till the submission of police report. 6. Having regard to the submissions made by counsel for the applicant, considering the nature of accusations, antecedents of the applicant and the fact that the applicant was not named in the first information report, the fact that the applicant was one of the bonafide purchasers of the part-portion of the disputed property, the fact that sale consideration was duly paid by the applicant, at this stage, there is no substantive evidence against the applicant, without commenting on merits of the case, I am of the opinion that the applicant is entitled to be enlarged on anticipatory bail till the submission of police report. 7.
7. In the event of arrest, the applicant- Smt. Manju be released on anticipatory bail
in the aforesaid case crime till the submission of police report, if any, under Section 173(2) of Cr.P.C., on furnishing a personal bond of Rs. 50,000/- with two sureties each in the like amount to the satisfaction of the Station House Officer of the police station concerned with the following conditions:- (i) The applicant shall make herself available for interrogation by a police officer as and when required; (ii) The applicant shall not directly or indirectly make any inducement, threat or promise to any person acquainted with the facts of the case so as to dissuade from disclosing such facts to the Court or to any police officer; (iii) The applicant shall not leave India without the previous permission of the Court and if she has passport, the same shall be deposited by her before the Police Commissioner concerned. 8. In default of any of the conditions, the Investigating Officer is at liberty to file appropriate application for cancellation of anticipatory bail granted to the applicant. 9. The Investigating Officer is directed to conclude the investigation of the present case in accordance with law expeditiously preferably within a period of three months from the date of production of a copy of this order independently without being prejudiced by any observation made by this Court while considering and deciding the present anticipatory bail application of the applicant. 10.
