BY PUBLIC PROSECUTOR SHRI.M.S.BREEZE THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 14/08/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: K.HEMA, J. ----------------------------------------- B.A.No.4702 of 2008 ----------------------------------------- Dated this the 14th August, 2008 O R D E R This petition is for anticipatory bail. 2. The alleged offences are under Sections 120B, 467 and 34 of the Indian Penal Code. Petitioners are accused 1 to 3. They have, in furtherance of common intention, forged a promissory note purported to be issued by the de facto complainant and procured an attachment of the landed property belonging to the de facto complainant. 3. Learned counsel for petitioners submitted that there is a civil suit pending in relation to the promissory note which is in dispute and hence, this case involves a civil dispute. Therefore, he requests for anticipatory bail. 4. Learned Public Prosecutor opposed this application for anticipatory bail and submitted that the petitioner's specimen signature and handwriting are required. He is also required for custodial interrogation, since there is a clear case of forgery of a promissory note, it is submitted. BA.4702/08 2 On hearing both sides, I am satisfied that granting of anticipatory bail will adversely affect the investigation. Hence, I am not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners. This petition is dismissed. K.HEMA, JUDGE vgs.
