1 ABA 462.11.sxw JPP IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE SIDE JURISDICTION ANTICIPATORY BAIL APPLICATION NO. 462 OF 2011 Mr. Hansraj Ramnaresh Yadav & Ors. ... Applicants. V/s. The State of Maharashtra. ... Respondent. Mr. K.S. Patil, for the Applicants Mrs. A.A. Mane, APP for the State CORAM : A.M. THIPSAY, J. DATED : 7th JUNE 2011. P.C. :- Heard Mr. Patil, learned Advocate for the Applicant and Mrs. Mane, APP for the State. 2. I have gone through the application and the annexures thereto. It is pursuant to the order passed by the Magistrate under Section 156(3) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, on the complaint lodged by one Triloknath Baba Yadav, that the Applicants are sought to be arrested on the allegations of having committed offences of cheating, forgery, using a forged document, etc. 3. A perusal of the complaint (copy of which is annexed to the Anticipatory Bail Application) shows that the acts constituting the alleged offences have been taking place since 2 ABA 462.11.sxw the year 2006 onwards, and the dispute between the parties became obvious in the month of January 2009. The F.I.R. has been lodged on 30th June 2010. At about the same time, the first informant and others filed a civil suit against the present Applicants concerning the same dispute. 4. The learned APP, after taking instructions from the Investigating Officer, accepts that the Applicants were twice called at the Police Station for interrogation and their statements have been recorded. It was soon after the registration of the F.I.R. It is quite significant that the Investigating Officer did not find the arrest or detention of the Applicants in custody necessary at that time. 5. Considering all the relevant aspects of the matter and since it does not appear that custodial detention and/or interrogation of the Applicant is necessary for the purposes of investigation, I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail. 6. In the event of their arrest, the Applicants be released on bail in the sum of Rs.20,000/- each, with one surety in like amount, on the condition to attend Virar Police Station and make themselves available for investigation/interrogation, as and when required by the Investigating Officer.
