KINGAONKAR, J.] [DATE : 29th November, 2010] PER COURT : 1. The applications are for anticipatory bail. 2. Heard learned advocate for the applicant and learned advocate for the respondent No. 3 as well as learned A.P.P. 3. The dispute relates to false preparation of record in respect of Mutation Entry whereby name of the respondent No. 3 (original complainant) was struck down from the relevant record. It appears that there is a civil dispute regarding the agricultural land. ( 3 ) 4. The learned advocate for the applicants, Shri Damale, has placed on record copy of an application filed by the applicant before the Sub Divisional Officer on 15th November, 2010 for rectification of the revenue entry. The learned advocate further submits that now the Mutation Entry is likely to be reversed and the original position would be restored. It appears from the communication dated 6th November, 2010 addressed to the applicant - Sarvottam by the respondent No. 3 - Smt. Vasudha that she called upon him to get the original position restored and thereafter, the applicant - Sarvottam did take appropriate steps. 5. Though the question whether the illegality or fabrication of the revenue entry was effected by the applicant is yet to be finally determined, the fact that the objectionable revenue entry is being removed, rectified and the original position is being restored, would indicate intention of the applicant expressing the regrets on his part. 6. Considering the foregoing reasons, the arrest of the applicants is not essential and called for. It would suffice if their presence at the Police Station is secured by giving ( 4 ) appropriate direction in order to facilitate the investigation. Hence, the applications are allowed. The applicants are directed to be released on bail, in the event of their arrest, on furnishing of bail bonds in sum of Rs. 15,000/- (rupees fifteen thousand) each, before the Arresting Officer, and on condition that they shall attend the concerned Police Station on each Sunday between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. for three (3) consecutive Sundays hereafter. The applicant No. 1 Sarvottam shall furnish specimen of his handwriting/signature and other information as may be called upon by the Investigating Officer during the period of interrogation and investigation. The applicants - Baliram and Govind (in Cri. Appln. No. 4037/2010) shall also attend the concerned Police Station as and when called by the Investigating Officer. They shall not be allowed to have an access to the revenue record pertaining to the entries about which the dispute is. All the three applications are accordingly disposed of. [V.R. KINGAONKAR] JUDGE NPJ/criapln4141-4142-10 ( 5 )
