pending the present Criminal Appeal before this Court.

2. The learned counsel for the petitioner/

appellant contends that immediately after

and she is undergoing imprisonment in Central Jail for

Women, Nellore. He further contends that the

enlarge her on bail by suspending the sentence of

imprisonment imposed by the learned Sessions Judge

pending the present Criminal Appeal.

be released on bail on her executing personal bond for

Rs.10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand only) with two
