FARAD CONTINUATION SHEET NO. IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY APPELLATE SIDE, BENCH AT AURANGABAD CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO.675 OF 2011 (Dnyanoba s/o Achyut Murkute Vs. The State of Maharashtra) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Office notes, office Memoranda of Court’s or Coram,appearances, Court’s orders Judge’s or directions and Registrar’s orders Orders Shri S.S. Rathi, Advocate for applicant Shri K.S. Patil, A.P.P. for respondent ... CORAM: K.U. CHANDIWAL, J. DATED: 28th February, 2011 1. Heard. The accused/ applicant seeks pre-arrest bail. 2. A vehicle MH-22-H-4944 (of Indica Vista Make) belonging to the owner, was stolen allegedly by Ashok Baraokar and Jalindar Apet, handed over the same to one Vyankat Fad. It is informed that the said Vyankat prepared forged document and got the vehicle changed to MH-12-DY-6827 with the same chassis number and engine number, in the name of accused/ applicant and again said vehicle was transferred in the name of Vilas Rathod. The statement of Clerk of R.T.O. shows that almost all the documents are fabricated. It has no proper entry in the office. The documents are either prepared outside the R.T.O. or with the nexus of some official in the R.T.O. The innocence that the accused/ applicant is projecting, primarily is not so, without his active participation, there could not have been false preparation of the papers concerning transfer of vehicle MH-22-H-4944 getting it changed to MH-12-DY-6827. Purchase of stamp paper is to be investigated, specimen signatures are to be obtained. There is apparently a racket in which some R.T.O. Staff is involved. Everything will be revealed during investigation and hence, accused need no exercise of powers under Section 438 of the Criminal Procedure Code. Application rejected. Interim protection vacated. (K.U. CHANDIWAL) JUDGE fmp/cri675.11
