The prosecution case in short is that shop no.4 situated at CTS No.63/13, Mohili Village belongs to the - 2 - complainant. One Yusuf Walli Khan posing himself to be the owner sold and transferred the said shop to the present applicants. It is alleged that the applicant in collusion with Yusuf Walli Khan purchased the said shop so as to deprive the complainant of the ownership of the said shop and thereby all of them have committed the offence mentioned above. A civil suit between Yusuf Walli Khan and the complainant in respect of the said shop is pending. That apart, Yusuf Walli Khan, who is vendor and alleged to be the main culprit, has been granted bail by the learned Metropolitan Magistrate by an order dated 14th February 2007 passed in C.C. No.1775/RA/2007. Since the main accused has been granted bail, the present applicants are also entitled to bail on the ground of parity. Even otherwise, I am satisfied that the applicants are entitled to bail. Hence, I pass the following order:- ORDER ORDER ORDER In the event of the arrest of the applicants or any of them in connection with the crime bearing C.R.

If such application is made, it shall be considered on its own merits without being influenced by any of the observations made in this order. . Application is disposed of. (D.G. KARNIK, J.)
