DATE : 19TH DECEMBER, 2011 2 P.C. . Heard the learned counsel for the respective parties. 2. These are the two applications for anticipatory bail. First, one is by Ghanwats, who are supposed to be builders, who have given Power of Attorney in favour of one Anant Ramchandra Chavan. Said Anant Chavan purchased property of one Daji Genbhau Kudekar by registered sale deed. Instead Daji Genubhau Kudhekar in fact, one Navnath Gopale had appeared before the sub-registrar for execution of sale deed. After Daji Genbhau Kudekar protested, the applicants Ghanwats are supposed to have intervened and made Anant Chavan to reverse the sale deed. At the time of reversal again instead of Daji Kudekar same Navnath Gopale appeared as Daji Kudekar. The learned APPs appearing to oppose these applications 3 contend that there is a gang operating with Ghanwats to grab the properties of others. The applicants in Cri. Appln.Nos.1009 of 2011 are four persons, who identified the imposter in execution of sale deed/cancellation deed. The learned APPs submit that the person, who purchased the properties have absolutely no means to purchase the property and in fact, the entire transaction was entered into at the instance of Ghanwats. The learned APPs submit that since it is possible that Ghanwats have committed similar fraud, their presence in custody is necessary. If they have committed similar fraud, it is for the investigating officer to go to sub-registrar's office and find out how many sale deeds have been executed and check with the persons, who have executed sale deeds and register offences, if necessary. In view of this, interim orders dated 2nd and 9th December, 2011 are confirmed. Criminal Applications are disposed of. The applicants in 4 Cri.Appln.No.989 of 2011 shall report before the investigating officer of the concerned police station on 22nd December, 2011 at 11:00 a.m. and thereafter, as and when required by the investigating officer.
