1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO.1917 OF 2010 Mr. Brahmanand Ramprasad Sharma and anr. ..Applicants. Vs. The State of Maharashtra. ..Respondent. Mr. M.K.Kocharekar for the Applicants. Mrs. M.H.Mhatre, APP. For the State. CORAM : R.S. MOHITE, J. DATE : 27th April, 2010 PC : 1 This is an application for grant of anticipatory bail. The applicant No.1 is a purchaser of the certain land which he has purchased under sale deed dated 6.6.2009 for an amount of Rs.80.00 lacs. The applicant No.2 is the witness to that document. It is seen that on 20.7.2009, the complainant has filed a suit being Special Civil Suit No.72/2009 in the Court of Civil Judge, S.D. Vasai for declaration that the sale deed executed in favour of the applicant No.1 is 2 nullity because it is executed on the basis of the forged power of attorney. In my view, in the given case, it appears that the applicant No.1 is the victim himself because he has parted with Rs.80.00 lacs for execution of the registered document. It is difficult to believe that he would part with money which he knew that he would get no title. The complaint in this case was filed by the complainant after the period of seven months. In the circumstances, I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the applicnts. It is therefore, directed that in the event of their arrest in pursuance of C.R.No.I-24/201 registered by Vasai Police Station, the applicants will be released on bail in the sum of Rs.15,000/- each with one surety each in the like amount subject to the condition that they will report to the Investigating Officer on every Monday between 11.00 a.m. and 5.00 p.m. till the charge sheet is filed and thereafter as and when called by the Investigating officer, in writing. Bail is also granted on further condition that they will not 3 tamper with the prosecution witnesses and will remain present on all the dates of the trial court unless exempted. Application is disposed off. 2 Parties to act on a copy of this order duly authenticated by the registry of this court. ( R.S. MOHITE, J.)
