The petitioner is apprehending her arrest in connection with Hussainganj P.S. Case No.102/2007 for allegedly committing the offences under sections 465, 467, 471 and 420/120 B of the Indian Penal Code. The above case was registered on the complaint filed by informant Sayeda Parveen. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner submits that on perusal of the complaint it would appear that the allegation against the petitioner levelled by the complainant/informant is to the effect that the petitioner obtained her employment as Angan Bari Sewika by producing forged marksheet of the qualifying examination and as such she could not be selected. It is further submitted that the petitioner submitted the application for the said employment as per the application form dated 22nd March, 2007 enclosing all the relevant documents as mentioned in the enclosure list. It is further submitted that the candidature of the petitioner was considered by the authority and after processing the same, she was appointed and still in service. It is submitted that the falsity of the allegation would be apparent that uptill now neither any show cause notice has been issued to the petitioner nor any criminal case has been 2 filed for producing the forged marksheet. Further submission is that the complainant/informant had filed a criminal case only to harass the petitioner as a matter of retaliation for not securing her employment. In the above circumstances, it is submitted that the petitioner is entitled to be granted anticipatory bail. On the other hand, learned Additional P.P. appearing on behalf of the State opposes the prayer for bail. However, he is not in a position to refute the submissions advanced on behalf of the petitioner.
