The applicants are seeking anticipatory bail in regular criminal case No.110 of 2009. The said criminal case has been registered in pursuance of the order passed by J.M.F.C., Pandharpur for having allegedly committed the offence punishable under section 467, 468, 471 r/w 34 of IPC. 3. It appears that there was some transaction 2 2 2 between applicant no.1 and the complainant - Maruti Vyavhare. The complainant had issued some cheques which were bounced and in view thereof applicant no.1 had filed a complaint under section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act. That case ended in conviction of the complainant. The complainant has filed an appeal against the order of conviction and the said appeal is pending for final disposal before the Sessions Court. Thereafter the complainant seems to have filed a private complaint against the applicants and has alleged that the applicants have committed forgery of certain documents. In the private complaint, the learned J.M.F.C. issued order under section 156(3) of the Code of Criminal Procedure. In pursuance of the order under section 156(3), the police conducted investigation and submitted negative report before the court. Thereafter the learned Judge recorded the statement of the complainant and has issued the process. Having regard to overall facts and circumstances of the case I am inclined to grant this application for anticipatory bail. Hence the following order: . In the event of arrest, the applicants be released on bail in the sum of Rs.5,000/- each with one or two sureties in the like amount subject to the 3 3 3 conditions stipulated in sub-section (2) of section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. Further, the applicants are directed to report to the concerned police station on every alternate Saturday between 6 pm and 7 pm for a period of 60 days from today. The application is disposed of. . 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.
