GURVINDER SINGH GILL, J. (Oral)
1. The instant petition has been filed on behalf of the petitioner seeking
grant of regular bail in respect of aforementioned FIR.
2. The allegations, in nutshell are that the petitioner and her husband had
cheated the complainant for an amount of Rs.30.40 lakhs.
3. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that it is a case where the
complainant as well as the petitioner's husband had business
transactions and that during the course of which the petitioner's
husband had issued 4 cheques favouring the complainant for a total of
Rs.30.40 lakhs which were somehow dishonoured and in respect of
which the complainant has also instituted complaint under Section
138 of Negotiable Instruments Act. Learned counsel submits that
integrity of this order/judgment CRM-M-15234-2024 (O&M) -2- 2024:PHHC:045023
since identically situated co-accused i.e. the husband of the petitioner
namely Upender Kumar @ Manish had already been granted bail, the
petitioner also deserves the same concession on the ground of parity.
4. Opposing the petition, learned State counsel has submitted that since
there are specific and categoric allegations against the petitioner, her
complicity is clearly evident. Learned State counsel however,
informed that the petitioner as on date has been behind bars since the
last 2 months and 14 days and that although challan has been
presented and charges have been framed but no PW out of the cited
10 PWs has been examined till date. It has also been informed that
the petitioner is not involved in any other case.
5. This Court has considered the rival submissions addressed before this
Court.
6. Having regard to the fact that challan already stands presented and
identically situated co-accused has already been granted bail, the
petitioner who is a lady and has a clean record, certainly deserves the
same concession on the ground of parity. The petition, as such, is
accepted and the petitioner is ordered to be released on regular bail on
her furnishing bail bonds/surety bonds to the satisfaction of learned
trial Court/Chief Judicial Magistrate/Duty Magistrate concerned.
