The alleged offences are under Sections 406, 420 read with 34 of the Indian Penal Code. According to prosecution, petitioner induced de facto complainant to make a deposit in the institution run by first accused and after making the deposit, the amount was not repaid etc. 3. Learned counsel for petitioner submitted that petitioner is a woman and she is in custody from 22.9.2008 onwards. Several crimes were registered against petitioner on the basis of complaints filed by various persons. When petitioner was in custody, the arrest of petitioner was recorded in this crime during pendency of this petition and thereby this petition has become infructuous. 4. It is submitted by learned counsel for petitioner that there is delay in disposal of bail applications and hence, a direction may be issued for expeditious disposal of the bail BA.553/09 2 application filed by petitioner in this crime, particularly taking into account the fact that petitioner was granted bail in all the cases pending against her, except this crime. 5. Learned Public Prosecutor submitted that the petition is filed for allowing custodial interrogation and petition is posted to today. 6. On hearing both sides, I am satisfied that the prayer in the petition is infructuous, on the arrest of petitioner. However, a direction is issued to the Magistrate Court to dispose of the bail application, if any, filed by petitioner without any delay, and as expeditiously as possible. Petition is disposed of accordingly. K.HEMA, JUDGE vgs.
