Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the petitioner is no way connected with the said allegations, neither the petitioner signed as the witness to the fabricated document nor he intended any forged document to be used for cheating the complainant and he is only witness to the said property which was purchased by the husband of the de-facto complainant and without any allegations, the petitioner is falsely implicated in this case and prayed the Court to grant pre-arrest bail to the petitioner by allowing this criminal petition. 5.

On the other hand, learned Additional Public Prosecutor opposed the submissions made by learned counsel for petitioner, on the ground that there are specific allegations against the petitioner and therefore, he is not entitled for the anticipatory bail and the petitioner is the
