902 ABA 1300 OF 2016.doc in question as the applicant as well as the informant are members of Maharashtra English Trustees Association, and there is dispute amongst both of them.

4.

It is seen that the learned Additional Sessions Judge has scrutinized the papers of investigation and found that the applicant had submitted forged and fabricated documents in order to enable her daughter to secure admission in next higher class. The daughter of the applicant has not even passed the 9th Standard examination but forged documents of her passing the 9th standard examination are submitted for securing admission to the next higher class. The F.I.R. is filed after due verification. In order to properly investigate the offence, custodial interrogation of the applicant is warranted. No case for ad-interim anticipatory bail is made out. The prayer so made is rejected. Consequently the application for anticipatory bail is rejected. [A. M. BADAR, J.] 2/2
