                                       ORAL ORDER

3   23-02-2026                  Learned counsel for the petitioner, at the outset,

                   submits that inadvertently he has stated that the petitioner is a

                   male, however, the same has been corrected by way of

                   supplementary affidavit.

                                2. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned

                   A.P.P. for the State.

                                3. Petitioner apprehends his arrest in connection with

                   Sonpur P.S. Case No.923 of 2022 registered for the offences

                   under Sections 406, 420, 467, 468, 471, 504, 506, 120(B) of the

                   Indian Penal Code.

                                4. The allegation against the petitioner is that she had

                   fraudulently got the car of the husband of the informant

                   transferred in her name on the basis of forged and fabricated

          documents.

                       5. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the

          present FIR has been lodged with a view to extort money from

          the petitioner after the death of the husband of the informant. It

          has further been submitted that the petitioner had purchased the

          car three years prior to the death of the husband of the informant

          and had made all such payments for which a sale deed was also

          entered between the parties on 23.02.2017. It has next been

          submitted that the cancellation of the registration on the

          application of the informant by the DTO was also subsequently

          set aside by the learned District Magistrate, Patna, in the appeal

          filed by the petitioner and the order has been brought on record

          by way of Annexure-P/4. It has also been submitted that there is

          no ill intent on behalf of the petitioner with regard to the

          registration of the car, which was duly purchased by the

          petitioner after making all payments. The only part which has

          been found against the petitioner is the fact that there was an

          affidavit which is stated to be sworn after the death of the

          husband of the informant. It has lastly been submitted that the

          petitioner, being a lady, had no concern whatsoever in the said

          transaction and she is a person with clean antecedent.

                       6. Learned APP for the State has opposed the prayer
