¶8

The submissions of learned counsel for the applicant are that the applicant, who is innocent person and has been falsely implicated in the case, is in jail since 21.08.2021. The case of the applicant is similar to co-accused Anjani Kaushal and Smt. Manju Kaushal, who have been enlarged on bail by this Court vide order dated 29.05.2023 and 18.06.2024 passed in Criminal Misc. Bail Application Nos. 7002 of 2023 and 6186 of 2024 respectively. In these circumstances, the applicant is also entitled for bail. In case of being enlarged on bail, she will not misuse the liberty of bail.

Considering the rival submissions of learned counsel for
