No. 178/2011 registered with Kotwali Police Station, Ahmednagar for offences punishable under sections 468, 464, 471, 34 etc. of IPC. The APP is ready with the papers of investigation. Both the sides are heard. 2. There are allegations against one Balasaheb, who is the husband of applicant No. 3, that even when he had sold his share from city survey Nos. 6149, 6150 and 6151/A from Nalegaon which is given municipal house No. 59, in the year 1997 to the complainant, he again prepared a Cri. Apln. No. 2716/11 2 sham sale deed in favour of his daughter, applicant No. 4 Anita. There are allegations that applicant No. 1 has given identification in respect of the executor and applicant Nos. 2 and 3 have signed as witnesses. 3. The advocate for the applicant No. 1 submitted that considering his age, it is not possible that he had knowledge about the transaction of 1977 made by Balasaheb. This probability is there. Further, he only signed on document to identify the executor. In view of these circumstances, relief can be granted to applicant No. 1 Shashikant Pawar. However, application in respect of applicant Nos. 2 to 4 is not pressed and so the application in respect of applicant Nos. 2 to 4 stands disposed of as not pressed. 4. In case of arrest of applicant No. 1 Shashikant Maroti Pawarin Cr. No. 178/2011 registered with Kotwali Police Station, Ahmednagar for offences punishable under sections 468, 464, 471, 34 etc. of IPC, he is to be released on PR and SB of Rs. 15,000/- (Rupees fifteen thousand).
