The State of Maharashtra )..Respondent ---- Mr.Manoj J. Bhatt for the applicant. Smt. M. H. Mhatre APP for the State. ---- Coram : R.S.MOHITE,J Date : 20th April, 2010 PC 1 This is an application for grant of bail. The applicant is shown as an accused in C.R.No.I-195/2009 registered by the Kopar Khairne police station, Navi Mumbai, for alleged offences under Sections 417, 419, 420, 467 & 471 read with 34 of IPC. The allegation against the present applicant is that she opened forged bank account in the name of Smita Shah, deposited the cheque of Rs.11 lakhs and withdrew the said amount by signing as Smita Shah. The offence under Section 467 is therefore, prima facie made out. It is found by the police that similar offence had been committed by the present applicant by opening account of one Reena Shah and another account by name Reena Desai and the documents have also found to be forged. Not-with-standing the fact that the applicant is a woman, I am not inclined to grant bail. Application is dismissed with liberty to the applicant to move again for bail in case she is willing to redeposit the amount withdrawn with the I.O without prejudice to her rights and contentions but subject to an order under Section 452 of Cr.P.C. Since applicant is a lady, trial is expedited. (R.S.MOHITE,J) 2 3
