Mr.S.S.Tatkare APP for the State. Coram : R.S.Mohite,J Coram : R.S.Mohite,J Coram : R.S.Mohite,J Date : 3.5.2006. PC 1. This is an application for grant of anticipatory bail. The applicant Ramesh Anantrai Busa is an accountant and is shown as an accused in C.R.No.104/2005 registered by the Malbar Hill Police station for alleged offences under Sections 420, 465, 467, 468, 473 r/w 506(II) of IPC. One Paresh Shah is shown as co-accused in the said crime. The complaint is lodged by one Jayalaxmi Mehta who is the mother-in-law of the said co-accused Paresh Shah. On perusing the complaint the : 2 : allegations therein appear to be that forged cheques were used by the present applicant and monies from 3 accounts belonging to her husband Amrutlal Zinabhai Mehta were mis-appropriated. APP states that the police have recorded the statement of the accused which implicates himself and the co-accused. It is not mentioned in the application that any such statement was obtained by force. On the contrary, it is contended that the present applicant is co-operating with the police and he may therefore, be granted anticipatory bail. In my view, this is a case where several offences are alleged and offence under Section 467 is a serious one punishable with life imprisonment. Monies are still required to be traced and for that purpose custodial interrogation is required. The various documents said to be forged are required to be shown to the present applicant and his admitted signatures and handwritings are also required to : 3 : be taken. In my view, not a fit case for grant of anticipatory bail. Application stands rejected. Advocate for the applicant seeks 4 weeks stay of the operation of this order. Prayer rejected.
