1 ABA : 15-14/2011 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL ANTICIPATORY BAIL APPLICATION NO.15 OF 2011 Vidhyadhar Gangadhar Bele & Anr. .... Applicants Vs. The State of Maharashtra .... Respondent WITH CRIMINAL ANTICIPATORY BAIL APPLICATION NO.14 OF 2011 Amit Suresh Kulkarni & Ors. .... Applicants Vs. The State of Maharashtra .... Respondent Mr. Ashok Mundargi, Senior Counsel i/by Shri Ajay Joshi for applicants. Mrs. G.P. Mulekar, APP for State-respondent. Coram : Smt. R.P. SondurBaldota, J. Date : 19th July, 2011 P.C. 1. As noted in the order dated 23rd June 2011, the applicants in the Bail Application No. 15 of 2011 are bonafide purchasers for value. There is no dispute that the applicants in Bail Application No.15 of 2011 claim to have purchased land from one Gangaram Jadhav, resident of Walwan, Taluka Javli, District Satara, who is very much 2 ABA : 15-14/2011 alive. It appears that the land sold to these applicants was owned not by Gangaram Jadhav, who is alive but by Gangaram Jadhav, the father of the complainant, who is dead. The statement of Gangaram Jadhav recorded by the police supports the claim of the applicants that they purchased the land from Gangaram Jadhav for value. The applicants in Anticipatory Bail Application No.14 of 2011 are the attesting and identifying witnesses for the documents executed for purchase of the land. The record and the investigation carried on so far by the police does not indicate that the applicants had entered into transaction of sale with knowledge that Gangaram Jadhav selling the land to them is not the owner of the property. In these circumstances, the interim anticipatory bail granted to the applicants on 18th January 2011 is confirmed. The applicants are however, directed to attend Pandharpur Police Station for a period of two weeks on alternate days, starting from 21st July 2011 and thereafter as and when called by the Police. The other conditions of the interim bail shall continue. (Smt. R.P. SondurBaldota, J.)
