The trial is yet to commence inasmuch as the learned State Counsel has submitted that the 9th of May, 2016 is the first date fixed for the trial. There are over 200 witnesses proposed to be examined. The accused Appellant is a lady. She has also been acquitted of similar charges leveled against her in other cases. Taking into account all the aforesaid facts we are of the view that the accused Appellant should be admitted to bail. We accordingly direct that the accused Appellant Angela Harish Sontakke be released on bail by the learned trial Court in connection with Sessions Case No. 655 of 2011 arising out of CR No. 19/11, PS, ATS Kalachowki, Mumbai.
