ORDER Petition for bail. 2. The alleged offences are under Sections 406, 420 read with Section 34 of IPC. According to prosecution, petitioner induced de facto complainant to deposit Rs. 4 lakhs in the institution run by the first accused where she was working as employee. Several false representations were made whereby de facto complainant was cheated to deposit the amount which was misappropriated by petitioner and others in furtherance of their common intention. Petitioner is the 3rd accused in the crime. 3. Learned counsel for petitioner submitted that petitioner is only an employee of first accused. She was arrested on 17.11.2008 in connection with similar crime and she is in custody since then. Petitioner was arrested in this case formally on 4.11.2008. It is also submitted that petitioner is having a child aged 4 years and 8 years and she is prepared to abide by any condition as imposed by this Court. She was already granted bail by default in another case. 4. This petition is opposed. Learned Public Prosecutor submitted that petitioner is involved in other crimes of similar nature also and she is wanted for arrest in those cases. 5. On hearing both sides, I am satisfied that the detention of petitioner any further in custody is unnecessary for the purpose of this case. [B.A.No.7659/08] 2 Hence, bail is granted to petitioner on the following terms and conditions: i) Petitioner shall execute a bond for Rs.1,00,000/- with two solvent sureties each for the like sum to the satisfaction of the Magistrate Court concerned. ii) Petitioner shall report before the Investigating Officer on every Monday and Thursday between 10 A.M. and 1 P.M. until further orders. iii) Petitioner shall report before the investigating officer on other days also as and when directed. iv) Petitioner shall not leave the limits of the Police Station within which she is residing except for compliance of direction in clause no.(ii). iv) Petitioner shall not influence or intimidate any witness or tamper with evidence or commit any offence while on bail and in case of breach of this condition, bail is liable to be cancelled. Petition is allowed. K. HEMA, JUDGE. Krs.
