Petitioners seek anticipatory bail in a case instituted under Sections 420, 467, 468, 471, 120(B) of the Indian Penal Code. Allegation is that on persuasion of co- accused Asharaf Maulana, the petitioner made over a sum of Rs. 40,000/- to the informant Ramji Shah for the purchase of piece of land. Subsequently, a document was handed over to him. The said document was found to be fake and forged document, resultantly he did not get the land. It is contended that, so far as petitioner is concerned, he is shown to be one of the witnesses to the execution of the said sale deed, handed over to the informant by co-accused Asahraf Maulana. Learned counsel submits that the Police upon conclusion of investigation submitted charge- sheet only against co-accused Asharaf Maulana and Ramji Shah. Learned Court, however, differing with the report took cognizance. Hence 2 apprehension. It is contended that co-accused Asharaf Maulana has been granted anticipatory bail by this Court.
