¶16

she is in judicial custody since long, therefore, taking into consideration the provisions of Section 437 Cr.P.C, she may be enlarged on bail.

¶17

Per contra, learned Public Prosecutor as well as counsel for the complainant have opposed the bail application and submitted that the petitioner along with her husband is indulged in mass cheating and cheated lakhs of rupees of poor citizens. It is also submitted that similar kind of cases have already been filed against the petitioner in various states.

¶18

Having heard learned counsel for the parties and after going through the material available on record and particularly taking into consideration the fact that petitioner is a lady and is behind bar, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, I deem it just and proper to grant bail to the accused petitioner under Section 439 Cr.P.C.

¶19

Accordingly, this bail application filed under Section 439 Cr.P.C. is allowed and it is directed that petitioner Smt. Archan Singh @ Anjana W/o Rohit Singh D/o Durga Das shall be released on bail in connection with FIR No. 65/2020 of Police Station Kotwali, District Sriganganagar provided he executes a personal bond in a sum of Rs.50,000/- with two sound and solvent sureties of Rs.25,000/- each to the satisfaction of learned trial court for his appearance before that court on each and every date of hearing and whenever called upon to do so till the completion of the trial.
