CRL.P No. 100715 of 2025
6. The petitioner/accused No.1 is in custody from
the date of her arrest i.e., on 29.05.2024; she is not
required for further investigation. This Court has already
assigned reasons while releasing the remaining accused
Nos.2, 3, 4 and 6. The alleged offences are not punishable
with death. The apprehension of the prosecution is that if the
petitioner/accused No.1 is released on bail, she may threaten
or tamper with the prosecution witnesses and also she may
abscond, may be overcome by imposing conditions. Hence,
I proceed to pass the following:
ORDER
i) The Criminal Petition filed by the
petitioner/accused No.1 under section 483
of Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita,
2023, read with section 439 of the Criminal
Procedure Code, 1973, is hereby allowed.
ii) The petitioner/accused No.1 shall be
released on bail on executing a personal
bond for a sum of Rs.50,000/- (Fifty
-6-
NC: 2025:KHC-D:7164
CRL.P No. 100715 of 2025Thousand Rupees Only) along with two
sureties for the like sum to the satisfaction
of the trial Court.
iii) The petitioner/accused No.1 shall furnish
her residential address proof and shall
inform the Investigating Officer/Court, if
there is any change in the address.
iv) The petitioner/accused No.1 shall not
threaten or tamper with the prosecution
witnesses either directly or indirectly.
v) The petitioner/accused No.1 shall not
indulge in any criminal activities.
vi) The petitioner/accused No.1 shall be regular
in attending the Court proceedings.
