Ladda 1 aba-179-11 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO.179 OF 2011. Kishan Mahadu Waghmare and (4) others ..Applicants. versus The State of Maharashtra ..Respondent. Mr. Rahul S. Kate, Advocate for the Applicants. Mrs S.D. Shinde, A.P.P. for the State. CORAM : A.R.JOSHI, J. DATED : 8th March, 2011 P.C. :- 1. Heard rival submissions for some time on this application for anticipatory bail preferred by the five applicants apprehending their Ladda 2 aba-179-11 arrest in the matter of CR No.14 of 2011 registered by Khed Police Station for the offence punishable under Sections 420, 467, 471, 506, 504 read with section 34 of the I.P.C. 2. Admittedly, the F.I.R. was lodged on 19th January, 2011 at Khed Police Station, District Pune by the original complainant and it is alleged that the offence of forgery and cheating was committed somewhere between the year 2002 till recent times. 3. Broad allegations against the applicants are that, they being the distant relatives of the complainant, had prepared forged documents and entered their names in the record of rights concerning certain immovable properties belonging to the complainant. Admittedly, there were civil proceedings before the Tenancy Courts and in fact at some point of time in the year 2003, compromise pursis were also filed in which present applicant No.1 was also a party. Apparently, from the contents of the F.I.R. all the said matters are presently pending before the Additional Commissioner, Pune Division under the RTI Revision No. 240 of 2010 and final decision is yet awaited. However, the allegations were made against the applicants on the strength of allowing of the RTS Appeal No.56 of 2005 before the Sub Divisional Officer, Sub Division Junnar, Taluka Khed. It is alleged against the applicant that as the said Ladda 3 aba-179-11 appeal concerning immovable property was allowed by the Sub Divisional Officer which amounts to the situation that present applicants had fabricated and illegally entered their names in the record of rights. 4. During the arguments, learned counsel for the applicants drew attention of this Court towards page No. 156 of the present application and specifically to the portion appearing at page no.158 that some immovable properties, for which there are allegations against the applicants as to illegally entering their names in the record of rights, have already been sold in the year 2008 to one Popatseth Ghanwat by the original complainant. It is argued on behalf of the applicants that at the most it is a case of civil nature and if at all the investigation is to proceed, the applicants are willing to co-operate with the investigation by attending the office of the Investigating Agency and giving their specimen signatures and handwriting, if need arise and to supply whatsoever documents which are in their custody. 5. In view of the above factual position and considering the allegations as mentioned in the F.I.R. the anticipatory bail can be granted to all the applicants with certain directions. Hence the following order. Ladda 4 aba-179-11 ORDER: a. Criminal Application No. 179 of 2011 is allowed. b. In the event of arrest of all the applicants, in the matter of C.R.No.14 of 2011 registered with Police Station Khed, they shall be released on bail on their executing PR bonds in the sum of Rs. 15,000/- each with one surety each for the like amount. c. After availing the bail, all the applicants shall attend the concerned Police Station, once in a week, on every Monday between 10:00 to 2:00 p.m. for a period of two months and thereafter till the filing of the charge sheet as and when called by the Investigating Officer. Application is disposed of on the above terms. (A.R. JOSHI, J.)
