* 1 * Cri.Appln-3603/2010 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO. 3603 OF 2010 Sou. Dhanashree Rajesh Shukla ........ Applicant : V E R S U S : The State of Maharashtra ....... Respondent ********** Mrs. Revati Mohite Dere, Advocate for the applicant. Mrs. P.P. Bhosale, APP for the respondent-State. CORAM : SMT. R.P. SONDURBALDOTA, J. DATED : 27th AUGUST, 2010. P.C. :- 1. The applicant apprehends arrest in connection with the complaint filed at the instance of Mahesh Co-operative Bank, Pune in C.R. no.99 of 2010 with Vishrambaug Police Station, Pune for the offences punishable under Sections 420, 467, 468, 471 read with Section 34 of Indian Penal code. The complaint relates to the fraud allegedly committed by one Rahul Gosavi and his wife Bhagyashree Gosavi upon the Bank by obtaining large sum of money as loan. The applicant is * 2 * Cri.Appln-3603/2010 shown to be one of the guarantors in the transaction of loan. She claims that she has not signed the loan agreement as the guarantor and the signature appearing thereon is a forged signature. I have perused the police case papers. The police have already filed charge- sheet in the matter and the claim made by the applicant is prima-facie seen to be supported by the charge-sheet. Apparently, by way of precaution, the police have sought the opinion of the handwriting expert in connection with the signature of the applicant. Considering the facts of the case, in my opinion, even if the police have filed the charge-sheet, this is a case fit for grant of anticipatory bail. Hence, the application is allowed. In the event of arrest of the applicant in C.R. no.99 of 2010 registered with Vishrambaug Police Station, Pune, she be released on bail on P.R. Bond of Rs.25,000/- (Rs. Twenty Five Thousand Only) with one surety in the like amount. [SMT. R.P. SONDURBALDOTA, J]
