Mamta Devi was granted bail by the Delhi High Court in a case involving alleged property fraud. The court found no reason to keep her in custody due to inconsistencies in the accusations.
On February 11, 2026, Justice Girish Kathpalia heard the case where Mamta Devi sought bail to avoid arrest. The case, registered under FIR No. 213/2024 at Neb Sarai Police Station, involved charges of cheating and forgery under Sections 406, 420, and 34 of the IPC.
Inspector Rakesh Kumar explained that Mamta Devi owned the first floor of a property, while her husband owned the second. Her husband gave her the right to sell the second floor, and she sold both floors to a complainant, claiming they were free of any debts. However, the first floor was used as a security for a loan from IIFL Finance Home Limited.
"The accused/applicant executed sale deed of both floors... whereas she had already mortgaged the first floor."
The most serious claim was that Mamta Devi faked a letter saying a loan was paid off. This was crucial in deciding her bail eligibility. However, the existence of this letter was disputed.
"Inspector Rakesh Kumar... submits that there is no such letter."
Justice Kathpalia noted inconsistencies in the status report, as Inspector Kumar admitted the report was not verified. The alleged forgery seemed unproven, and civil suits were already ongoing between the parties.
"Prima facie, the allegation of forgery does not appear to be truthful."
Given the circumstances, the court granted bail to Mamta Devi, requiring a personal bond of Rs. 10,000 with a surety. The decision was based on the lack of evidence for forgery and ongoing civil disputes.
"The application is allowed... the accused/applicant shall be released on bail."
Mamta Devi was granted bail because there wasn't enough evidence to prove she faked the loan letter, and there are already other legal cases between the parties involved.
