Mr.K.V.Saste APP for the State. Coram : R.S.Mohite,J Coram : R.S.Mohite,J Coram : R.S.Mohite,J Date : 19.7.2006. PC 1. This is an application for grant of anticipatory bail. The applicant is shown as one of the 3 accused in C.R.No.157/2006 registered by the Pimpri police station, Pune, for alleged offences under Sections 420, 467, 468, 471 & 511 read with 34 of IPC. The prosecution case is that one co-accused by name Sou.Mangala Gaikwad applied for a loan to the Seva Vikas Co-operative bank, Pimpri branch, Pune, on behalf of which the complaint is filed and : 2 : submitted some forged documents alongwith the loan application. This was detected before the loan could be disbursed and admittedly loan has not been disbursed. As far as documents are concerned, the APP states that according to the statement of the co-accused some of the documents are partly filled-in in the handwriting of the present applicant who had promised Sou.Mangala Gaikwad that he would ensure that she gets the loan amount. The nature of the fabrication is that Sou.Mangala Gaikwad has stated that she is employee of ICICI Prudential Insurance Company whereas in fact she was an agent. A form 16 is also allegedly forged. Be that as it may, admittedly sample handwriting of the applicant is taken. In my view, this is a case where investigation can be proceeded without custody of the applicant. In the circumstances, it is directed : 3 : that in the event of his arrest, the applicant may be released on bail in the sum of Rs.10,000/- with one surety in the like amount subject to the condition that he will report to the investigating officer once a week till the charge-sheet is filed and thereafter as and when called upon to do so in writing. Application stands disposed off. (R.S.Mohite,J) (R.S.Mohite,J) (R.S.Mohite,J)
