MARGAO
The South Goa Sessions Court on Monday rejected the anticipatory bail application filed by Adv Anju Amonkar in the alleged forged Power of Attorney case.
South Goa Additional Sessions Judge Sayonara Telles Laad rejected Anju’s anticipatory bail plea after Public Prosecutor V G Costa submitted that investigation of the case is at the preliminary stage, adding that more statements of the witnesses were yet to be recorded.
In this case, the complainant, Vidhyanand Amonkar lodged his complaint that since January 4, 2005, the applicant Anju had allegedly prepared a forged Power of Attorney by allegedly forging his signatures and that of his wife and others and further produced the same before the sub registrar and executed the deed of relinquishment with regard to the complainant and others.
In its reply to the anticipatory bail application, the Margao police submitted to the court that a letter under section 91 of the CrPC was addressed to the applicant with a request to furnish the original copy of the Power of Attorney. However, the police claimed that the applicant till date has failed to provide the Power of Attorney and on the contrary has preferred to file the anticipatory bail application.
