DATE : 21/10/2008 DATE : 21/10/2008 DATE : 21/10/2008 PC: PC: PC: 1. Heard Mr.Shinde, learned counsel for the applicant and Mr.Dediya, learned APP, for the State. 2. The applicant is seeking anticipatory bail in C.R.No.I-447 of 2008 of Nashik Road police station, District-Nashik. The said crime has been registered against the applicant and five others for having allegedly committed an offence punishable under sections 420,468, read with 34 of IPC. The basic allegation against the applicant is that he executed two separate agreements for sale in favour of two different parties in respect of the very same land owned by him. The first agreement for sale was executed in favour of M/s Vikrant Happy Homes Pvt Ltd in 1996, whereas the second agreement was executed in favour of Jitendra S. Shah on 5.4.2008. According to the applicant, he never executed the agreement dated 3.12.1996 in favour of Vikrant Happy Home Pvt Ltd. In respect of the very said land a suit bearing Regular Civil Suit No.775 of 1997 filed by six plaintiffs against M/s Vikrant Happy Homes Pvt Ltd and others, is pending before the Civil Judge, Sr.Dn., Nashik. Similarly, a suit filed by the present applicant against M/s Vikrant Happy Home Pvt Ltd bearing R.C.C. No.115 of 2008 seeking perpetual injunction is also pending. This Court is informed that the Civil court has granted interim injunction against the defendants in the said suit. Looking to the nature of the allegations, prima facie, it appears that the dispute between the parties is civil dispute, which is already before the court. Keeping that all in view, I am inclined to grant this application. Hence, the following order. 3. In the event of arrest, the applicant to be released on bail in the sum of Rs.35,000/-, with one or two sureties to make up the said amount, subject to condition that the applicant shall report to the concerned police station every alternate day between 10 and 11 am till 15.11.2008,except for the period between 27th and 31st October,2008, and thereafter on 2nd and 4th Saturday of every month for a period of 90 days from the date of his formal arrest or till the chargesheet is filed, whichever is earlier. . 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 without being influenced by the observations made in this order.
