Heard and perused the material available on record. The case in brief is that the petitioners are alleged to have forged the Aadhar card, bank debit card and title deeds of the son of the de facto complainant to obtain a crop loan from the ICICI Bank.

The petitioners filed this writ petition challenging the investigation in the above crime. This Court is not inclined to interfere with the proceedings in the above Crime. However, taking into consideration the averments in the affidavit, without going into the merits, this Court is of the view that the above crime can be investigated into, without arresting the petitioners. Accordingly, the respondents 2 and 3 are directed to complete the investigation and file a final report, in accordance with law in either way, without arresting the petitioners. The petitioners are directed to appear before the investigating officer concerned and execute a personal bond for a sum for Rs.5,000/ - (Rupees five thousand only) each

with one surety for the like sum each, as surety for their future appearance as and when called for the purpose of investigation. With the above directions, the Writ Petition is disposed of. No costs. Consequently, miscellaneous petitions pending, if any, shall stand closed.
