The petitioner, who apprehends arrest by the respondent police for the offences punishable under Sections 420, 406, 506(i) of IPC in Crime No.137 of 2025 seeks anticipatory bail.

2.The allegation against the petitioner is that the petitioner colluding with others executed a power of attorney in favour of A1, who sold the property to the defacto complainant in 2008 knowing fully well that, the property is not belongs to them. When defacto complainant took steps to take possession, it was obstructed by another persons leading to the complaint. 3.The learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the petitioner is the owner of the property, there is no counter-claim as alleged by the defacto complainant and he is willing to co-operate for the investigation already both defacto complainant and petitioner negotiated between them and arrived settlements.
