A.P.P. for the State.
This is an application for grant of anticipatory bail in connection with Minapur P.S. Case No. 513 of 2022, registered for the offence punishable under Sections 420, 467, 468, 471 and 120(B) of the Indian Penal Code.
The allegation is regarding the petitioner having fabricated TET certificate and by producing the same, having obtained appointment on the post of Panchayat Teacher.
The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is innocent, she has been falsely implicated in the present case and she is having a clean antecedent. The learned counsel for the petitioner has further submitted by referring to paragraph no. 17 of the present petition that the petitioner is

now not discharging her duties as a Panchayat Teacher and therefore, she is not a beneficiary of the said fabricated TET mark-sheet, hence, she be granted the privilege of bail. It is also submitted by referring to the various orders of coordinate Benches of this Court, annexed to the present petition that in similar type of cases, other accused persons have been granted the privilege of anticipatory bail.
Per contra, the learned APP for the State has vehemently opposed the prayer for bail.
Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, considering the submissions made by the learned counsel for the petitioner, taking into account the materials available on record as also considering the categorical averment of the petitioner to the effect that she is now not discharging her duties as a Panchayat Teacher, I deem it fit and proper to admit the petitioner to the privilege of anticipatory bail.
Accordingly, the petitioner is directed to be enlarged on anticipatory bail, in the event of her arrest or surrender before the court below within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order, on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 10,000/- (rupees ten thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned
