In order to perfect the fraud, a fake passbook was also issued to the informant. It is alleged that a similar cheating was done with other natives of the village as well, mentioned in the FIR. 3.

This is a case which requires investigation, and if vindicated during investigation, the petitioner might have to defend herself at the trial.
