Heard rival submissions for some time on this anticipatory bail application preferred by the applicant apprehending her arrest in C.R. No. 8/2010 registered with Gorai Police Station, Mumbai for the offence under sections 420, 465, 467, 468, 471 read with Section 34 of I.P.C. 2. Allegations against the applicant and the co-accused are that though original complainant had given certain power of attorney in favour of appln-3123-10 the present applicant and her husband, it was with respect to some other immovable property belonging to the complainant. Present applicant, in connivance with her husband, changed the survey number and CTS number from the said power of attorney and in fact sold the said another property with changed survey number and CTS number to some third person for monetary consideration. It is an admitted position that the person who purchased the property on the strength of such power of attorney has already been granted anticipatory bail by the Additional Sessions Judge, Dindoshi, Mumbai. 3. Learned A.P.P.for the State submitted that earlier during hearing of the application for anticipatory bail preferred before the Additional Sessions Judge, Greater Bombay, there was need for obtaining the specimen of hand- writing/signature of the present applicant and as such said application was then objected. It is also submitted that during the said earlier hearing, original power of attorney given by the complainant, involving the present applicant and her husband was not available. However, subsequently, after granting anticipatory bail to the purchaser of the property said power of attorney is traced. 4. Considering the above submissions and considering the desire of the Investigating Agency to have entitlement for obtaining the specimen of hand- writing / signature of the present applicant and her co-operation in the investigation, the present application can be allowed with certain conditions. In the result, the following order:- appln-3123-10 ORDER: (a) Anticipatory bail application is allowed. (b) In the event of arrest of the applicant in C.R.
