No. M-31571 of 2011 2 Raman Gill and their son and daughter allegedly received Rs.48,00,000/- from the complainants for sending them to Australia with work permits, but they were not sent abroad nor their money was returned. Petitioner's husband issued various cheques for repayment of the amount, but the same were dishonoured. As mentioned herein before, all the four family members have been implicated in this case. Petitioner's husband is also in custody, whereas petitioner's son and daughter have been granted anticipatory bail. The petitioner is in custody since 13.05.2011 i.e. for 6½ months. Investigation is already complete. Challan has been presented. Trial is likely to take time. Case is triable by Magistrate. The petitioner is a woman. Her husband appears to be the main culprit, who also issued cheques, which were dishonoured. Keeping in view the aforesaid, but without meaning to express any opinion on merits of the case, I am of the opinion that the petitioner should be granted concession of bail. Accordingly, the instant bail petition is allowed. Bail to the satisfaction of learned Chief Judicial Magistrate/ Duty Magistrate, Jalandhar. November 28, 2011 ( L. N. MITTAL ) monika JUDGE
