ABA-483-11.sxw 1 Dixit IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION ANTICIPATORY BAIL APPLICATION NO.483 OF 2011 Seema Munnawar Sayyed ... Applicant V/s. The State of Maharashtra, Thru’ Mahim Police Station, Mumbai ... Respondent Mr. A.H.H. Ponda for the Applicant. Mrs. A.A. Mane, APP, for the Respondent. Mr. J.S. Kini, i/b. Mr. S. Dubey, for the First Informant. Mr. S.A. Puranik, PSI, Mahim Police Station, is present. CORAM:- A.M. THIPSAY, J. DATED :- 16 TH JUNE, 2011. P.C. : 1. Heard. 2. The Investigating Officer is present and he agrees that the Applicant has attended the Police Station everyday, as directed by the order dated 31st May, 2011. 3. Admittedly, the allegation is that the amount of the cheque was credited in the account of the co-accused. It is nobody's case that the same had been credited in the account of the present Applicant. It is also not in dispute that the said account of the co-accused has been frozen by the Police by giving instructions to the concerned Bank. As such, the amount said to have been lost by the First Informant has already been secured by the Investigating Agency. ABA-483-11.sxw 2 Dixit 4. A number of contentions have been raised on behalf of the First Informant by Mr. Kini, the learned Advocate, suggesting that the Applicant has hacked the e-mail account of the First Informant. These contentions have been refuted in the course of arguments by Mr. Ponda, the learned Advocate for the Applicant. 5. In my opinion, it is not advisable to go deeper and examine the matter with the object of attempting to ascertain the truth, as the same does not appear to be necessary in the context of the present Anticipatory Bail Application. What, however, needs to be observed is that some cases of forgery and cheating are, undoubtedly, pending against the First Informant also. 6. Since the detention of the Applicant is not essential for the purpose of investigation, since no actual gain appears to have been made by the Applicant by committing alleged offence and since the Applicant is a woman, it would be proper to grant anticipatory bail to her. 7. The Anticipatory Bail Application is allowed. 8. The interim order passed on 31st May, 2011, is confirmed, on the condition that the Applicant shall attend the Mahim Police Station, Mumbai, and make herself available for investigation/interrogation, as and when required by the I.O.
