The applicant is seeking anticipatory bail in C.R. No. 137 of 2008 of Lonavala City Police Station. The complainant is a lady who is 70 years of age. She is the owner of piece of land which is stituated at Lonavala. The prosecution case is that original accused no.1 prepared a forged power of attorney in the name of the complainant Mrs.Usha Shah. :2: On the basis of the said forged power of attorney, the land of Mrs. Usha Shah came to be sold to Sahara India. The applicant has signed as confirming party on the said sale deed. The prosecution case is that the applicant was aware that the power of attorney was forged and the sale has been based on the forged power of attorney. Investigation in the present case is going on. Looking to the facts of this case, the custodial interrogation of the applicant is necessary. Hence, I do not find that this is a fit case to grant the applicant anticipatory bail. 3. Hence, the application is rejected. (Smt.V.K. Tahilramani,J.) (Smt.V.K. Tahilramani,J.) (Smt.V.K. Tahilramani,J.)
