DATE : 10 APRIL 2024.

P.C.:

These Applications are for grant of pre-arrest bail filed under provisions of section 438 of Code of Criminal Procedure in connection with Crime No.I-262 of 2021 for offences punishable under sections 420, 415, 417, 418, 423, 425, 426, 427, 463, 464, 466, 467, 468, 471, 474, 120-B, 13, 199 and 200 read with section 34 of the Indian Penal Code registered with Chhavani Police Station, Malegaon.

The allegation against the Applicants is that the concerned land was mutated in the name of M/s. Supreme Transports Organisation Private 1 of

k 2/3 Limited through Shri Satishkumar Kishanlala Agarwal and others. After death of Satishkumar Kishanlala Agarwal, the Applicants got their individual names mutated to the record of rights of the concerned land vide Mutation Entry No.41509.

That the Applicants have filed an Affidavit dated 9 April 2024 bringing on record 7/12 extract of land in question which now shows that name of the Company Supreme Transport Organisation Private Limited has been restored in revenue records. In that sense the grievance of the Complainant is met with.

The Applicants are on interim protection granted by this Court since 31 August 2021. Considering the fact that the name of the Company is already restored in the revenue records, I am of the view that the interim protection granted in favour of the Applicants needs to be made absolute. The Anticipatory Bail Applications are accordingly allowed in terms of the following order:
