This application under Section 438 of the Cr.P.C.,seeking pre-arrest bail in C.R.No.76 of 2007 registered with Byculla Police Station for the offence punishable under Sections 380, 465, 467 468,and 471 of the Indian Penal Code. 4. Having heard rival parties, the disputed transaction seems to be relating to the shares of "East India Hotels Limited". The investigation would be as to in whose favour the shares are transferred and under whose signatures they are transferred. Further, it will have to be investigated as to whether signatures are forged or otherwise. Under these circumstances, I am of the considered view that no custodial interrogation is needed. 5. Learned APP and the learned counsel for the complainant could not satisfy me as to what purpose would be achieved by seeking custody of the accused. investigation. In this view of the matter, I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the applicants. 6.
