absolutely innocent and has been falsely implicated in the present case
due to some ulterior motive. The present FIR has been lodged with regard
to a forged marriage solemnized against the son of the informant. The
applicant was stated to be the wife, with whom the alleged marriage was
solemnized. It is next submitted that applicant is having no concern with
the allegations levelled against her and she has not committed any offence
as alleged by prosecution. Co-accused of the applicant namely Kamini

history of solitary case of the applicant has been explained in para 16 of
the instant bail application and she is languishing in jail since 24.5.2026.
It is also submitted that the applicant undertakes that she will not misuse
the liberty, if granted. It has also been pointed out that in the wake of
heavy pendency of cases in the Court, there is no likelihood of any early
conclusion of trial.

                                2

the trial.

the instant bail application is allowed.

(ii). The applicant will not pressurize/ intimidate the prosecution witness.

which he is accused, or suspected, of the commission of which he is
suspected.

(v). The applicant shall not directly or indirectly make any inducement,
threat or promise to any person acquainted with the facts of the case so as
to dissuade him from disclosing such facts to the Court or to any police
officer or tamper with the evidence.

sureties be verified by the authorities concerned before they are accepted.
