Original complainant is represented by Advocate Mr. Mahesh Sonwane and he is allowed to assist APP. 4. A crime is registered on the basis of report given by sister-in-law of the present applicant. Sister of the complainant is given in marriage to brother of the present applicant. It is her case that in the name of her sister and herself land was purchased in the year 2008 at Badlabai Tq. Kultabai District Aurangabad( Gut No.20) and present applicant prepared false sale deed to show that share of complainant is sold to “Kohinoor Shikshan Sanstha” of which present applicant is office bearer. She has contended that sale deed dated 07.09.2010 does not bear her signature and thus offence of forgery and cheating is committed by the present applicant. 5. Advocate for the applicant submitted that report itself shows that land was purchased for College purpose and as complainant resigned from trusteeship, the land which was purchased for College purpose came to be transferred to College. The applicant did not get any land and the land is sold to institution of which family members are trustees. 6. The complainant is close relative of the applicant and she has made serious allegations against the applicant. It was submitted that specimen 3 Cri.A.2239.11 signatures of the applicant and others are taken and police need not require custody of the applicant for the purpose of investigation. State has opposed the application. When there is such forgery, the person interested generally does not sign on the document and some third persons is produced for making the signature. As there is such possibility, custodial interrogation becomes necessary in such cases. Incident of creation of false and forged documents are increasing day by day. In view of aforesaid circumstances and as serious allegations are made against the present applicant, it is not fit case for granting anticipatory bail. So application stands rejected. No further interim relief to the applicant. Sd/- [ T.V.NALAWADE, J.] MTK
