1 Criapln5190/2011 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY BENCH AT AURANGABAD CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO. 5190 OF 2011 Smt. Minabai w/o Nilkanth Deore Applicant V E R S U S The State of Maharashtra & Anr. Respondents Smt. S.S. Jadhav, Advocate, holding for Shri S.S. Jadhav, Advocate for the applicant Shri B.J. Sonawane, APP for the respondents / State CORAM : R.Y. GANOO, J. DATED : 13th December, 2011 PER COURT : 1. Heard learned Advocates of both sides. 2. The applicant apprehends arrest in connection with CR No. 65 of 2011, registered at Taloda Police Station, District Nandurbar. 3. According to the prosecution, the applicant prepared a note thereby showing false amounts. It is pertinent to note that the present applicant is working as Clerk. Even the note is shown to the Court and it 2 Criapln5190/2011 clearly shows that it had the approval of the Collector. The Note went on from one person to other and ultimately reached the Collector. It is really surprising as to how any intervening officer has not find fault in the Note prepared by the applicant. In any case, the entire record, on the basis of which investigation can be carried out, is in the custody of the concerned department. I am of the view that this is not a case where custodial interrogation of the present applicant is required. She can be properly interrogated even without her custodial interrogation. In my view, the applicant can be granted anticipatory bail. Hence, following order is passed to dispose of the application. O R D E R A. In the event of arrest of the present applicant in CR No. 65 of 2011 of Taloda Police Station, District Nandurbar, she be released on bail in the sum of Rs.15,000/- 3 Criapln5190/2011 (Rupees Fifteen Thousand) with one surety in the like amount. The applicant shall execute P.R. bond in the sum of Rs.15,000/- (Rupees Fifteen Thousand). B. The applicant was directed to appear before the concerned officer on 3rd December, 2011. She Shall now appear before the concerned Officer on 19th December, 2011 and offer herself for interrogation and she shall report to the concerned officer as and when required. ( R.Y.
