Crl.Misc. No.5932/2022
objection and other materials on record.

my consideration:
1. Whether the petitioner has made out grounds for
granting anticipatory bail u/s.439 of Cr.P.C.,?
2. What order?
6. My findings on the above points are as under:
(1) Point No.1 .. In the Affirmative
(2) Point No.2 .. As per final order
for the following:
R E A SON S
7. Point No.1:- The case of the prosecution in brief is
that; It is found that the respondent police registered Crime
No. 14/2022 against the accused on complaint by Srinivas
V.T. Police Officer, Vigilance and STF, BDA Head office. It is
alleged in the complaint that the accused have committed
offence u/sec.
120B, 465, 466, 468, 471, 472, 409, 420
r/w 149 of IPC. It is alleged in the complaint that when the
BDA has published E-auction Notification for allotment of
sites through auction process to the purchasers
in respect
of the sites of BDA located at Sir M.Vishweshwaraiah
layout, 4th block, at that time the accused have changed the
address as Sir M.Vishweshwaraiah layout, 7th block and
submitted online application in respect of site Nos and the
accused have changed the site No. 2887 as site No. 1068
and have created fake documents and particularly in
respect of
the site
situated at Sri M.Vishveshwaraiah
4
Crl.Misc. No.5932/2022
Layout, 7th Block, Bengaluru has been created and forged
the documents and have produced the same before the BDA
authorities and fraudulently conveyed and registered the
said site in the name of one
Manjunath B.V and caused
loss to the BDA. Further allegation in the complaint is that
the alleged documents alleged to have been executed by
BDA are one created and fabricated.
On the basis of
complaint the respondent police registered the crime
against the accused for the offence U/sec. 120B, 465, 466,
468, 471, 472, 409, 420 r/w 149 of IPC. Now the petitioner
filed this petition for regular bail. Accordingly the crime is
registered against the petitioners.
8. On perusal of the entire materials on record and on
going through the order of the Hon`ble High Court of
Karnataka which has granted conditional bail to the other
accused in this crime and Cr. No. 14/2022. This court has
also granted bail other co accused. As such this court
satisfied to grant bail to this applicant. Hence the prayer of
the accused seeking the anticipatory bail is to be allowed.
Further, the investigation is over and the charge sheet is
filed. Whether the petitioner has committed the offences as
alleged or not is to be looked into by holding full fledged
trial. The
alleged offences are
triable by JMFC. The
petitioner is having permanent abode. The petitioner
contends that he has not cheated anybody.
He is the
permanent resident of address given, Hence, he would be
available for investigation and trial. Further the petitioner is
ready to abide by the terms and conditions that may be
5
Crl.Misc. No.5932/2022
imposed by this court while granting bail. The apprehension
of the prosecution can be met by imposing conditions.
Hence, the petition filed by the petitioner is deserves to be
allowed. Accordingly, I answer the above point in the
Affirmative.
9. Point No.2:- In view of my findings on point No.1, I
proceed to pass the following:
O R DE R
