Respondent Shri N.S. Ghanekar, Advocate for the applicant Shri B.J. Sonawane, APP for the respondent / State Shri Rahul Joshi, Advocate, Assist A.P.P. CORAM : R.Y. GANOO, J. DATED : 12th December, 2011 PER COURT : 1. Heard learned Advocates of both sides including learned Advocate Mr. Rahul Joshi, supporting A.P.P. 2. The applicant apprehends arrest in connection with M Case No. 01 of 2011, registered with Kranti Chowk Police Station, Aurangabad, under Sections 420, 467, 468 of the Indian Penal Code. 3. The applicant is the President of an organization by name Baliram Naik Shikshan Prasarak 2 CA3034/2011 Mandal Thapti Tanda, Taluka Paithan, District Aurangabad. The complainants, three in number, have informed in their letter dated 12th November, 2010, that they are the members of said organization since 1989. It is the grievance of the three persons by name Dilip Jadhav, Nandu Rathod and Babu Chavan, who have filed Criminal Case in the Court of Judicial Magistrate, First Class, Aurangabad, bearing R.C.C. No. 313 of 2011 that the present applicant forged various documents and had benefit from said documents. 4. After having perused the entire record, it is clear that the present complainants are the members of the said organization. The allegations in the complaint are absolutely of a general nature. No specific instance is cited. The investigation is going on substantially from long time. The preset applicants are enjoying the interim protection since 18tyh July, 2011. Before this Court, not a single document came to be produced by which it could be said that the present 3 CA3034/2011 applicant committed forgery in respect of signatures of the complainants. The specimen handwriting of the present applicant has been obtained by the police. With all these observations, I am inclined to observe that there is no need to reject the application for anticipatory bail. The present applicant can be granted anticipatory bail. The applicant of-course will have to co-operate with the investigation agency by submitting himself for interrogation. Hence, following order is passed to dispose of the application : O R D E R A. In the event of arrest of the applicant in M Case No. 01 of 2011 of Kranti Chowk Police Station, Aurangabad, he be released on bail in the sum of Rs.15,000/- (Rupees Fifteen Thousand) with one surety in the like amount. The applicant shall furnish P.R. Bond of Rs.15,000/- (Rupees Fifteen Thousand). B. The applicant shall report to the concerned police station firstly on 19th 4 CA3034/2011 December, 2011 and thereafter as and when called for. ( R.Y. GANOO, J. ) SRM/12/12/11
