Mr V.S.Gokhale, for the original complainant. CORAM : D.B.BHOSALE, J. DATE : 09/07/2009 PC: 1. Heard learned counsel for the parties. 2. The applicants are seeking anticipatory bail in R.C.C.No. 334 of 2008 arising from C.R.No.113 of 2008 of Cantonment Police Station, Pune. The crime has been registered against the applicants and one another for having allegedly committed an offence punishable under sections 465, 467, 468,471,403,419,420 read with 34 of IPC. 3. The said crime has been registered against the applicants T 2 and one another in pursuance of the order passed by the learned Judicial Magistrate First Class under section 156(3) of Cr.P.C in R.C.C.No.334 of 2008. The complainant has filed a private complaint against the applicants and one another alleging that they have forged and fabricated two documents, namely, N.O.C dated 18.10.1994 and Indemnity Bond dated 16.8.1994. There is a civil suit pending between the parties. In the civil suit court commissioner was appointed. While taking inventory, the court commissioner took photocopies of the aforesaid two documents from the applicants. Both these documents show the complainant’s signatures. However, according to the complainant, she never signed those documents and her signatures thereon were forged by the applicants with a view to deprive her legitimate share in the property of her parents. Admittedly, the original documents are in possession of the Bank and the society. In view thereof Mr Thakore, learned counsel for the applicants, submits that no custodial interrogation of the applicants is necessary. Having considered the submissions and the nature of allegations against the applicants, I am inclined to grant this application for anticipatory bail. Hence, the following order. In the event of arrest, the applicants to be released on bail in the sum of Rs.10,000/- each with one or 3 two sureties to make up the said amount, subject to the conditions incorporated in sub-section (2) of Section 438 of Cr.P.C. Further, the applicants are directed to report to the concerned police station every alternate day between 10 am and 12 noon till 23.7.2009 and thereafter as and when called. While passing this order I shall not be understood to have expressed any opinion on merits of the case and the trial Court shall deal with the case uninfluenced by the observations made in this order. Application is disposed of. (D. B. Bhosale, J.)
