Respondents Shri B.S. Deshmukh, Advocate for the applicant Shri K.S. Hoke-Patil, APP for the respondents / State CORAM : R.Y. GANOO, J. DATED : 8th December, 2011 PER COURT : 1. The applicant Mrs. Pallavi Vishal Narkhede was in the employment of M/s Raynold Fund Management. She apprehends arrest in CR No. 325 of 2011, registered with MIDC Police Station, Jalgaon for the offences punishable under Sections 420, 406, 408 read with Section 34 of the Indian Penal Code. 2. A reading of the F.I.R. would go to show that the said company had promised various investors that if the particular amount is deposited with them, they would get substantial amount by way of interest after the 2 Criapln5161/2011 particular period. The said commitment had not been complied with as regards various persons. The present applicant is shown to be in the employment of the said organization. Her husband is also working in the said organization as a senior officer. The learned Advocate appearing for the applicant placed before the Court a certificate issued by Dr. Swatee Choudhari, Bhusawal, District Jalgaon dated 11th October, 2011. Reading of the same goes to show that this present applicant is pregnant. Learned Advocate for the applicant pressed this ground as a ground for granting anticipatory bail. I am inclined to take a lenient view and grant anticipatory bail to the applicant particularly on the ground that the present applicant is pregnant. Needless to mention that the police will exercise their discretion in interrogating the applicant. Hence, following order is passed to dispose of the present application : ORDER A. In the event of arrest of the applicant in connection with CR No. 325 of 2011 of MIDC Police Station, Jalgaon, she be released on bail in the sum of Rs.15,000/- (Rupees Fifteen Thousand) with one surety in the like amount. The applicant shall furnish P.R. Bond of Rs.15,000/- (Rupees Fifteen Thousand). 3 Criapln5161/2011 B. The applicant shall report to the concerned police station firstly on 14th December, 2011 and thereafter as and when called for. ( R.Y. GANOO, J. ) SRM/8/12/11
