Heard Mr.Katkade for applicant and 2 Mrs.Shinde, A.P.P. for respondent. 2. Mr.Katkade states that the applicant and her husband have two residential apartments in their name. He states that the applicant is a house wife. She was unaware of the fact that the meter recording electric consumption has been allegedly tampered with. It is his contention that for the offences under section 135(1) of the Electricity Act, 2003, the husband of the applicant was arrested and produced before the regular court. He is now enlarged on bail. Mr.Katkade also brings to my notice the fact that outstanding amount is quantified at Rs.1,92,000/- which the husband has been directed to deposit within a period of four weeks. In these circumstances, he prays that the applicant deserves to be granted anticipatory bail. Mrs.Shinde, learned A.P.P. does not dispute that the husband of the applicant came to be arrested on 24th October 2005 and is presently enlarged on 3 bail. Therefore, in the circumstances, the applicant is entitled to the reliefs as claimed in the application. Accordingly, it is directed that in the event of arrest of applicant in respect of the offence registered under Special L.A.C. No.24 of 2005, she shall be released on bail on the condition that she shall cooperate with the investigation and shall attend Versova police station as and when necessary.
