HEMA, J ---------------------- B.A.No.2790 OF 2010 ----------------------------------- Dated this the 9th day of July, 2010 O R D E R This petition is for anticipatory bail. 2. The alleged offences are under sections 465, 468, 471 of IPC and section 12(b) of The Passport Act, 1967. According to prosecution, petitioner applied for change of the name of spouse in passport. Along with the application, she also produced death certificate relating to her former husband. On verification, it was found that said person is alive and document was forged. Therefore, a crime was registered against her, for having committed the above said offences. 3. Learned counsel for petitioner submitted that petitioner was married to one Nazeer and he inflicted cruelty on her and she left the house in the year 2005. Her documents were all in the former husband's house. She got divorce from him through Jama-ath and thereafter, she married the present husband. The former husband was against the divorce. Therefore, he deliberately misused the passport and concocted a case against petitioner, with a view to harass the petitioner. Passport was not B.A. No.2790/10 2 in the possession of petitioner. 4. This petition is opposed. learned public prosecutor submitted that as per the materials in the case diary, the application was filed by petitioner herself for changing spouse's name in the passport. The allegations made against the petitioner are of serious nature. Her custodial interrogation is needed for ascertaining the manner in which document is forged. Hence this is not a fit case to grant anticipatory bail. 5. On hearing both sides and considering the nature of allegations and need for interrogation, I am satisfied that this is not a fit case to grant anticipatory bail. Petitioner shall surrender before investigating officer without any delay and co-operate with investigation. This petition is dismissed. K. HEMA, JUDGE. Sou.
