This anticipatory bail application under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Suraksha Sanhita, 2023, has been preferred by the petitioner apprehending her arrest, for offences under Sections 406, 420, 467, 468, 471 and 34 IPC. 3. The allegation against the petitioner is of defrauding huge money from the villagers and farmers on the pretext of giving huge profit by selling planted and grown trees. 4. Learned counsel representing the petitioner submits that if anyone has cheated, it is one Pradeep Kumar Rai (husband of this petitioner), Jitendra Pandey and another, but not this petitioner, though the name of this petitioner has been reflected in the F.I.R. She submits that the petitioner has got no concern with her husband as she has already filed a suit praying for divorce in the year 2017 being Matrimonial Suit No.1117 of 2017 before the Family Court, Gorakhpur. 5. Learned P.P. representing the State after going through the case diary submits that the entire allegation is mainly upon the 2025:JHHC:18325 2 husband of this petitioner and other accused. 6. Considering the aforesaid submission of learned A.P.P. and the fact that there is some matrimonial dispute and the petitioner is living separately, I am inclined to allow this application. 7. Accordingly, this Anticipatory Bail Application stands allowed. The petitioner, above named, is directed to surrender before the learned court below within four weeks from the date of receipt of copy of this order and on the event of her surrender or arrest, she shall be released on bail on furnishing bail bonds of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand), with two sureties of the like amount each, to the satisfaction of learned C.J.M. Hazaribag, in connection with Hazaribag Muffasil P.S. Case No.43 of 2024, subject to the condition that one of the bailers should be a close relative of the petitioner and other should be a resident of State of Jharkhand, having sufficient landed property in his name or in the name of his ancestors in which he is having share and to that effect, he has to file an affidavit before the Trial Court indicating his share in the property.
