UPON hearing the counsel the Court made the following
O R D E R
The petitioner, by way of present special leave petition, has prayed for anticipatory bail.
Learned counsel for the respondent/State vehemently opposes the petition.
Taking into consideration the fact that there is an ad interim 2 order in favour of the petitioner, we are inclined to grant the relief. Therefore, in the event of arrest, the petitioner is directed to be released on bail in connection with P.S. Case No.576 of 2020 dated 14.11.2020 at PS Gardanibagh, District Patna, Bihar, subject to her furnishing bail bonds for a sum of Rs.15,000/- (Rupees Fifteen Thousand only) with one or two sureties in the like amount.
The petitioner is directed to cooperate with the investigation and attend the Investigating Officer, as and when called upon to do so.
The special leave petition is, accordingly, disposed of.
Pending application(s), if any, shall stand disposed of.
