By this application, the applicant seeks pre-arrest bail in connection with C.R. No. I-214 of 2014 registered with the Vashi Police Station, Navi Mumbai, for the alleged offence punishable under Section 420 r/w 34 of
the Indian Penal Code.

Learned Counsel for the applicant submitted that the applicant is a Property Consultant and has only identified the parties i.e. Sahadev R. Sawant and the informant Anil Waze, and has signed as a witness on a registered Sale Deed dated 23rd August, 2012. He submits there is no dispute regarding the genuineness of the said Sale Deed. He submitted that Anil Waze, the first informant, has alleged in the FIR, that the earlier registered Sale Deed dated 28th February, 2012 entered into between Sahadev Sawant and one Ravishankar Ramaswamy is not a genuine agreement, inasmuch as, the seller Ravishankar Ramaswamy had not sold the property to Sahadev Sawant and that somebody has impersonated the said Ramaswamy in the said registered Sale Deed. He submits that the present applicant has no connection with the first registered Sale Deed entered into between Sahadev Sawant
and Ramaswamy, which is allegedly a forged and fabricated document. He submits that as far as the second registered Sale Deed dated 23rd August, 2012 is concerned, the same is in order and that as a Property Consultant, the applicant has identified the parties.
