1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRI.APPLICATION NO. 1337 OF 2009 Shri Nandadivakar Brijkishor Jaiswal, .. Applicant Vs State of Maharashtra .. Respondent Mr. Bharat Khanna, Advocate for the Applicant. Mr. S.S.Pednekar, APP, for the Respondent. CORAM : D.B.BHOSALE, J. DATE : 17/06/2009 PC: 1. Heard learned counsel for the applicant and learned APP for the respondent. 2. The applicant is seeking bail in C.R.No.I-156 of 2008 of Town Police Station, Thane. The said crime has been registered against the applicant and others for having allegedly committed an offence punishable under sections 465,467,468, 471, 472,473, 474, 475, 476, 420 read with 34 of IPC. 3. The case of the prosecution, in short, is that on 25.7.2008 accused no.1 Mahadeo Nagu Sapkal was found using a forged T 2 demand draft, which incident set the investigation in motion. During investigation, the present applicant came to be arrested. He was found in possession of four forged documents, such as, ration card and cheques. Thereafter, panchanama under section 27 was drawn in which about 25 forged articles were recovered at his instance. The articles recovered at his instance are forged demand drafts, cheques, blank ration cards, rubber stamps etc. During investigation, it revealed that the present applicant had given the demand draft to Mahadeo for purchasing certain articles from the show-room of the complainant. The applicant seems to be the main person in the group of the five accused. In the circumstances, I am not inclined to enlarge him on bail. Hence, the application is rejected. While passing this order I shall not be understood to have expressed any opinion on merits of the case and the trial Court shall deal with the case uninfluenced by the observations made in this order. The application is disposed of. (D. B. Bhosale, J.) 3
