1.

The applicants in all these applications apprehend their arrest in Crime No.474/2021, registered with Shivaji Nagar Police Station, Beed, for offences punishable under sections 409, 420, 467, 468, 471 r/w 34 of the Indian Penal Code and section 52(A)(2) of the Wakf Act, 1954.

2.

Crime is registered on the basis of report lodged by Aminuzamma S/o Khalikuzamma, District Waqf Officer, Beed, against the applicants alleging that land admeasuring 796 Acres 31 Gunthas is allotted to Shehanshawali Dargah from Nizam regime. Muntakhab No.1871 is relating to the said Dargah under which various lands situated at Beed, Pathrud, Padalsingi, Agarnandur and Talwada are granted for service of Dargah. Lands bearing Survey Nos. 22, 23, 31, 32, 88, 89 and 95 situated at Beed are Khidmatmash lands for the service of Dargah. Habiboddin s/o Sardaroddin (applicant No.1 in Anticipatory Bail Application No.191 of 2022) prepared false and fabricated Muntakhab No.4744 of 1336, so also, bogus File No.78/HIA/Inam/2/160 filed on 25/12/1978 which is shown as disposed of by judgment dated 02/02/1982 and for implementation of said decision one more file is prepared in the year 2016 in collusion with Revenue Officer. Accordingly, mutation entries were changed in the name of

4 928-ABA-1515-22.odt Habiboddin and his brothers, in respect of lands bearing Survey Nos.22 and 95. When the information regarding Muntakhab No.4744 was called from the Department of Archaeology, Hyderabad, it is informed that no such Muntakhab is available in their officer. Piece of land from Survey Nos.22 and 95 has been acquired for construction of National Highway No.211 and amount of Rs.15 Crores for compensation of the same is laying with the Collector Office, Beed. For the purpose of withdrawal of said amount, accused Habiboddin has prepared false record and cheated Government as well as Wakf Board. Applicants in collusion with each other passed the order based on false Muntakhab No.4744 and directed recording of names of Habiboddin and others in the mutation record of Survey Nos. 23, 31, 32, 88 and 89.

Habiboddin has sold out land from Survey Nos. 22 and 95, ad-measuring 10 acres in favour of Shaikh Ashfak Gous and three others by sale deed registered with Joint Sub-Registrar, Beed. Thereafter the purchasers have demarcated plots and the same are transferred in the names of various persons.
