Samita Alias Savita Bhandari --Applicant Versus State Of Uttarakhand --Respondent
Hon’ble Alok Mahra, J.
Ms. Sadaf, Advocate for the applicant.
Mr. S.C. Dumka, A.G.A. and Mr. Nikhil Bisht, Brief Holder for the State of Uttarakhand.
2. Applicant seeks anticipatory bail in connection with F.I.R. No.0361 of 2018, under Section 420, 467, 468 & 471 I.P.C., registered at Police Station Rishikesh, District Dehradun.
3.
Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant has been falsely implicated in the present case. It is contended that the applicant has been arrayed as an accused solely on the ground that she stood as a guarantor in respect of the car loan in question. It is further submitted that the applicant’s role was confined to that of a guarantor and no specific overt act has been attributed to her regarding the preparation of forged documents, fabrication of records, or forging of signatures. According to the prosecution case itself, the allegations relating to the use of forged seals, issuance of forged No Objection Certificates (NOCs), and preparation of
UKHC010111962026
2026:UHC:5262 fabricated documents are primarily
directed against the principal accused, and no material has been brought on record to demonstrate the applicant’s active participation in the alleged offences.
4. Learned State Counsel opposes the application and submits that the applicant has been evading the process of law. It is pointed out that a Non-Bailable Warrant (N.B.W.) has already been issued against the applicant by the court concerned and, thereafter, proceedings under Sections 82 and 83 of the Code of Criminal Procedure have also been initiated against her.
5. In response, learned counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant will surrender before the court concerned and avail the remedy available to her in accordance with law by moving an appropriate application before the learned Magistrate. It is further submitted that the applicant undertakes to cooperate with the proceedings and shall not seek to evade the process of law.
6. In view of the aforesaid submission made on behalf of the applicant, no further orders are required to be passed in the present anticipatory bail application. Accordingly, the anticipatory bail application stands disposed of.
