SC grants anticipatory bail to woman in cheating case
New Delhi, The Supreme Court has granted anticipatory bail to a woman in a cheating case, noting that she was cooperating in the investigation.
Advocate Ashwani Dubey, appearing for Sharma, submitted that she was cooperating in the probe.
The top court directed that once the petitioner is released on bail, she shall appear before the jurisdictional court and furnish fresh bail bonds and ensure due appearance in the trial.
On failure to abide by the directions of the court, the State shall approach it for cancellation of the anticipatory bail, the bench said.
The apex court also directed the petitioner to surrender her passport before the police.
The prosecution case was that following disputes concerning Bulwark Facilities Management Private Limited, Sharma and other accused claimed that they could assist in settling the company's liabilities, introduced co-accused persons for accounts and IT work, and were involved in transactions amounting to ₹1.30 crore.
The prosecution alleged that these amounts were diverted for personal benefit and that a purported NBCC work order valued at approximately ₹11 crore, shown to the complainant in connection with security and housekeeping services, was forged and fabricated.
