Heard, Learned counsel for the applicant, the Learned A.G.A. for the State and perused the record. 2. The present anticipatory bail application has been filed on behalf of the applicant in Case Crime No.657 of 2025, under Sections 319(2), 318(4), 338, 336(3), 340(2), 316(5), 61(2), 238 B.N.S. and Section 66(D) of the Information Technology Act, P.S.- Kotwali Karvi, District- Chitrakoot, with a prayer to enlarge her on anticipatory bail as the applicant apprehends her arrest in the above-mentioned case. 3. The Learned counsel for the applicant contends that the applicant has been falsely implicated in the present case. The applicant is a widow and she, supposedly in conspiracy with the other accused, had obtained excess family pension in her account to the tune of Rs. 20,32,771/-. The applicant claims that the money has been deposited in the account of the Treasury Officer through treasury challan and without admitting the offence that has been committed by her, the applicant claims that she has not caused any monetary loss. The applicant has no criminal history. 4. The Learned A.G.A. has opposed the prayer for grant of anticipatory bail but could not dispute the fact that the applicant has deposited the disputed amount in the treasury. 5. I have considered the submissions made by the Learned counsel for the parties and perused the material brought on the record. 6. Taking into account the fact that the amount misappropriated by the applicant is said to have been deposited by her and also the fact that she is Versus Counsel for Applicant(s) : Umesh Kumar Counsel for Opposite Party(s) : G.A. Rani Devi .....Applicant(s) State of U.P. .....Opposite Party(s) a lady having no criminal antecedents, I deem it appropriate to grant anticipatory bail to the applicant. 7. In view of the above, the anticipatory bail application of the applicant is allowed. 8. In the event of the arrest of the applicant Rani Devi, she shall be released forthwith in the aforesaid case crime on anticipatory bail on furnishing a personal bond and surety each in the like amount to the satisfaction of the Station House Officer of the police station/Court concerned with the following conditions:- i. the applicant shall make herself available for interrogation by a police officer as and when required; ii. that 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 her from disclosing such facts to the Court or to any police officer; iii. that the applicant shall not leave India without the previous permission of the Court; iv. that the applicant shall not pressurize/intimidate the prosecution witness; 9. In case of breach of any of the above conditions, the Court concerned shall be at liberty to cancel the bail. 10. It is made clear that observations made hereinabove are exclusively for deciding the instant anticipatory bail application and are not to be considered to be an opinion on the merits of the case.
