The alleged offences are under sections 332, 224, 225B read with section 34 IPC. According to the prosecution, when police party went to the house of the petitioner for arresting her son, against whom a non bailable warrant was issued in a long pending case, petitioner resisted the police party and allowed her son to escape. On a complaint lodged by the Sub Inspector, a crime was registered in the above said sections. 3. Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that petitioner is a 70 year old lady having cardiac problems, as evidenced by documents produced as Annexure-A series. It is highly improbable that petitioner would be able to resist the arrest and allow accused to escape. Admittedly, more than one official was in the police party. 4. Learned Public Prosecutor submitted that petitioner may be directed to surrender before the Investigating Officer and subject to this condition, he has no objection in granting anticipatory bail to the petitioner. 5. Hence, the following order is passed:- (1) Petitioner shall surrender before the Investigating Officer within ten days from today and in the BA 6076/08 -2- event of her arrest, if any, she shall be released on bail, on her executing a bond for Rs. 25,000/- with two solvent sureties each, for the like amount, to the satisfaction of the arresting officer, on the following conditions:- i) Petitioner shall make herself available for interrogation by the Investigating Officer as and when directed. ii) Petitioner shall co-operate with the investigation. iii) Petitioner shall not commit any offence while on bail. This petition is allowed. K.HEMA, JUDGE. mn.
