CORAM : D.B.BHOSALE, J. DATED : 8TH OCTOBER, 2008. DATED : 8TH OCTOBER, 2008. DATED : 8TH OCTOBER, 2008. P.C.: . Heard Smt.Dhamale, learned counsel for the applicant and Mr.Dedia, learned A.P.P. for the State. 2. The applicant has prayed for anticipatory bail in C.R.No.261 of 2008 of Sarkarwada police station, Nasik. The said crime has been registered against the applicant for allegedly committing an offence punishable under section 392, 452, 170, 342, 418, 419, 506 read with 34 of IPC. It is on the allegations that the applicant and co-accused allegedly entered the hotel posing themselves as staff of Anti Corruption Bureau and cheated by impersonation. The applicant claims to be a social worker and that she assists the police in controlling the illegal activities such as seducing to minor/young girls and other immoral activities and in connection with the 2 2 2 same she has allegedly entered the said premises. Considering the nature of allegations against her, in my opinion, custodial interrogation of the applicant in the present case is not necessary and hence I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail as prayed by the applicant. Hence I pass the following order: . In the event of arrest, the applicant be enlarged on bail in the sum of Rs.25,000/- with one or two sureties of the like amount subject to condition that she shall report to the concerned police station everyday till 22nd October, 2008 between 9.00 a.m. and 10.00 a.m. and thereafter on the first Saturday of every month for a period of 90 days or till filing of charge sheet, whichever is earlier and thereafter whenever called. . While passing this order I shall not be understood to have expressed any opinion on merits of the case and the trial Court shall deal with the case without being influenced by the observations made in the order.
