The complainant is a Notary. According to him, on the date of execution of relinquishment deed, he was not Notary. 5.
Considering the fact that the applicant Nos. 1 and 2 are beneficiary of the said relinquishment deed, I am not inclined to release them on anticipatory bail.

The Application of applicant No. 1 and applicant No. 2 is rejected. 7.
As regards the applicant No. 3, she is not the beneficiary. On the contrary, she is alleged to have relinquished her share in the property in favor of the applicant Nos. 1 and 2. I am therefore inclined to release the applicant No. 3 on anticipatory bail. Hence, the following order is passed: (i) Application is partly allowed.
