By its Public Prosecutor, High court of A.P., Hyderabad. --- Respondent. This Court made the following : HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE SAMUDRALA GOVINDARAJULU CRIMINAL PETITION No.176 OF 2011 ORDER: The Petitioner/A-2 is accused of offences punishable under Sections 420, 468, 471 of I.P.C. and Sections 12 (1) (a) (b) of Indian Passports Act. It is alleged that A-1 approached A-2 for changing date 10-01-2008 to 10-01-2010 in the travel document namely B-1 Visa and that with visa containing altered date, A-1 traveled to U.S. where the unauthorized alteration was detected and A-1 was deported to India. It is contended that in F.I.R. name of A-2 is given as Sami Ahmed whereas in the statement recorded from A-1 name of A-2 is given as the petitioner namely Mohammed Masooduddin alias Masood. F.I.R. was given by Inspector of Police at Rajiv Gandhi International Airport, Shamshabad and not by A-1. It contains only version given by A-1 and it does not contain the version of the informant himself. The original version of A-1 gives name of A-2. Investigation of the case is pending. Therefore, at this stage identity of A-2 as the petitioner is prima-facie made out. Having regard to the serious allegations made against him in tampering with the visa document, I am of the opinion that he is not entitled for anticipatory bail. In the result, the petition is dismissed. _____________________________ SAMUDRALA GOVINDARAJULU, J. Date: 18-01-2011. DSH
