IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.11493 of 2008 ABHA DEVI Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 3. 8.9.2008 Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. The petitioner is apprehending her arrest in connection with Bakhari P.S. Case No.89 of 2007 for the alleged offences registered under sections 366A and 372/34 of the Indian Penal Code and sections 5 and 6 of the Immoral Traffic Act. The allegation against the petitioner is to the effect that the informant, who admittedly is the member of the dancing party, was brought by the co-accused Manju Devi and Kranti Devi, who in turn handed over the informant to this petitioner in connection with the performance of dance. The further allegation is that when the informant wanted to go back, this petitioner objected and told that she has been contracted for a sum of Rs.50,000/- and she can go after refunding the amount. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that this F.I.R. has been got lodged for ulterior purposes, which would be evident on perusal of the petition filed by the informant before the Chief Judicial Magistrate, as contained in Annexure 2, as well as the earlier application filed by the informant before the Superintendent of Police, Begusarai, as contained in Annexure 3. It is further submitted that those petitions are to the effect that the allegation of keeping this informant at the place of Abha Devi for immoral purposes is 2 absolutely incorrect. As a matter of fact, the informant did not lodge any complaint or case against them, but her signature was obtained on a plain paper, on the basis of which the present case has been initiated. The learned APP in the light of the allegation as well as the documents, contained in Annexure 2 and 3, is not in a position to refute the submissions. Considering the above, it is directed that the petitioner Abha Devi, in the event of her arrest or surrender in connection with Bakhari P.S. Case No.89 of 2007, within a period of six weeks from today, be enlarged on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs.10,000/- (Ten thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the Chief Judicial Magistrate, Begusarari, in connection with the aforesaid case, on the conditions mentioned in sub-section (2) of section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure.
