The learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the allegations would constitute a civil obligation but not an offence. The petitioner is a lady. In view of the nature of the offences alleged against her, the defence of the learned counsel for the petitioner and in view of the sex of the petitioner, I consider it appropriate to enlarge the petitioner on anticipatory bail.
