Mr. Ravi Maheshwari, Advocate For Non-applicant :

Mr. Anupam Dubey, Dy.Govt.Advocate Hon'ble Shri Justice Sanjay K. Agrawal Order on Board 19/08/2015 1.

This is the first bail application filed under Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 for grant of regular bail to the applicant who has been arrested in connection with Crime No.176 of 2015, registered at Police StationPalari, District-Balodabazar-Bhatapara (CG), for the offence punishable under Sections 420, 264, 466 and 471 of the IPC.

2.

Case of the prosecution, in brief, is that the applicant while working as Stamp Vendor at Tahsil Office-Palari make forged signature of Tahsildar-Palari on the application filed by Itwari Bai for issuance of death certificate of her husband and thereby committed the aforesaid offence. 3.

Learned counsel for the applicant would submit that the applicant has not committed any offence and he has been falsely implicated in offence in question, he has not issued any forged order of Tahsildar by making forged signature, he is in jail since 6.6.2015, charge-sheet has already been filed and no useful purpose would be served by detaining him in jail, therefore, he may

be released on bail.

4.

On the other hand, learned counsel for the State would oppose the bail application.

5.

I have heard learned counsel appearing for the parties and perused the case diary.

6.

Taking into consideration the facts and circumstances of the case, further taking into consideration the nature and gravity of offence and the manner in which the applicant is alleged to have forged the signature of Tahsildar and forged seal has been recovered from the possession of the present applicant, I am of the considered opinion that it is not a fit case where the applicant can be released on bail 7.

Accordingly, the bail application filed under Section 439 of the Cr.P.C. is rejected.

8.

Certified copy as per rules.
