REJI JOSEPH THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING BEEN COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 29/11/2011, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: /TRUE COPY/ P.A.TO JUDGE DG P.S.GOPINATHAN, J ---------------------------- B.A. NO. 8934 OF 2011 -------------------------- Dated this the 29th day of November, 2011. O R D E R Petition under Section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. Petitioner is the accused in Crime No.1378/2011 of Kunnamkulam Police Station for offences under Sections 467, 468 and 420 r/w Section 34 IPC. Apprehending, arrest, detention and torture at the hands of the Investigating Officer, this petition is filed seeking an order directing the respondent to release the petitioner on bail in the event of arrest with a plea that she is innocent of the allegations. 2. Having heard either side, it is revealed that the case relates to the forgery of minutes of Kudumbashree and withdrawing Rs.10,000/-. Though in the ordinary course, this is not a fit case to invoke jurisdiction under Section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, having taken note that the petitioner is a lady with two kids, I find that it would be appropriate to release the petitioner on bail on conditions. In the result this petition is disposed of with direction to the petitioner to surrender before the Investigating Officer and produce all relevant documents in the possession of the petitioner. The Investigating Officer, after interrogation and recovery, if any, with or without arrest, shall B.A. NO. 8934 OF 2011 2 release the petitioner on bail on executing a bond for Rs.20,000/- with two solvent sureties each for like amount to the satisfaction of the Investigating Officer subject to the following conditions :- 1. Petitioner shall report before the Investigating Officer at 10-00 AM on every Tuesday and also as and when required. 2. Petitioner shall not, directly or indirectly, make any inducement, threat or promise to any person acquainted with the facts of the case so as to dissuade her from disclosing such facts to the Court or to any police officer. 3. Petitioner shall not leave Thrissur District without the previous permission of the Investigating Officer. 4. This order shall be in force for a period of one month, within which period the petitioner shall apply for regular bail, failing which the Investigating Officer shall arrest the petitioner and produce her before the Magistrate concerned.
