1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL BAIL APPLICATION NO.586 OF 2011 Vijay Maruti Tare .... Applicant Vs. State of Maharashtra .... Respondent Mr. Sanjay Patil, Advocate for applicant. Mrs. G.P. Mulekar, APP for State. Coram : Smt. R.P. SondurBaldota, J. Date : 15th July, 2011 P.C. 1. This application for anticipatory bail is in connection with C.R. No.11 of 2008 for the offences punishable under Sections 420, 464, 467 and 468 Indian penal Code, at the instance of the complainant, one K.S. Tare. The complainant has filed private complaint being OMA No.1153 of 2008, on which direction for investigation has been issued by the learned Magistrate under Section 156(3) Code of Criminal Procedure. 2 2. It is alleged in the complaint that the applicant and his wife got the power of attorney of the complainant forged and used the same for the purpose of sale of the property, by the applicant to his wife. The power of attorney a joint power of attorney by seven persons. The other executants of the power of attorney have also made a statement to the Police that the applicant had tricked them into signing a paper, which was converted into power of attorney. 3. The applicant had first approached the Sessions Court for anticipatory bail. The Sessions Court noted in its order that the the photographs of the applicant, executants no. 2 to 6 annexed to power of attorney are recent ones and whereas photographs of the complainant is comparatively old. The complainant has also denied his signature on the power of attorney. In that circumstance, the process of investigation has to be completed. For this reason, it refused anticipatory bail to the applicant but granted the application of the wife of the applicant. The applicant has not only, allegedly, forged the power of attorney but also got it registered in the absence of the complainant. Considering the facts of the case, in my 3 opinion, this is not a case for this Court to exercise its extraordinary power for grant of anticipatory bail. Hence, the application is dismissed. (Smt.
