1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO.709 OF 2010 Shri.Mohammed Khalid Shaikh. ..Applicant. Vs. The State of Maharashtra. ..Respondent. Mr. Vikas Shivarkar for the applicant. Mr.A.S.Gadkari, APP. for the State. CORAM : R.S. MOHITE, J. DATE : 1st April, 2010 PC : 1 This is an application for grant of anticipatory bail. The applicant is shown as an accused in C. R. No. 300/2009 registered by Shivaji Nagar Police Station for the alleged offences under Sections 467, 468, 471, 420 read with 34 of the I.P.C. The allegation of the prosecution is that applicant by name Rashid Aliraza Akhtar had forged four cheques of HDFC Bank, Allahabad and deposited the said cheques having forged signatures in IDBI Bank Ashok Nagar Branch, Pune for encashment. The Advocate for the 2 applicant states that the accused No.1 who had presented the said cheques has been granted bail by this court. However, the accused No.1 is only front in this matter. The Police have to investigate the matter as to how the forged cheques came to be prepared. Printing machines and other instruments will have to be seized. In my view, this is a case where custodial interrogation is necessary. Hence, application is rejected. ( R.S. MOHITE, J.)
