The books were found in possession of the applicants. 3) Mr.Chatterji submits that the applicants have nothing to do with the forged book as it was given to them by Chatrabhuj Sonawane, their employer, the receipt were to be issued to the owners, who 2 CRI.APPLN.NO.5420/2010 lifted the sand from the river bed at Kanalda and the applicants have no knowledge as to whether the Receipt books are forged or not. 4) Prima facie, it appears that in a concert, forgery is committed with the Government record and revenue is duped to crores of rupees. It cannot be said that the applicants are totally innocent and the source and supply of such forged receipts to other and past events are also to be checked. The contention in ground No.D is in-despodent to accept. Consequently, no ground to entertain prearrest bail. The application rejected. (K.U.CHANDIWAL) JUDGE bdv/
