In enquiry it is found that the order dated 26.11.2010 passed by the Board of Revenue was forged, on the basis of above report the order passed by Tehsildar has recall and report has been lodged to the Police against the 3 applicant. Therefore, the present anticipatory bail application of the applicant is liable to be rejected. 5. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the material available on record. 6. Considering the facts & circumstances of the case, allegations levelled against the applicant in the FIR, and from the perusal of the records available, it transpires that Nikhil Shrivastava Tehsildar lodged the report on dated 14.11.2024 alleging that the land bearing khasra No. 179/2 are 0.072 hectare Faizane Goshulbarra Committee, the Faizane Goshulbarra Committee is the owner of the said land, however, the name of the committee was not registered in the revenue record.

In enquiry it is found that the order dated 26.11.2010 passed by the Board of Revenue was forged, on the basis of above report the order passed by Tehsildar has recall and report has been lodged to the Police against the applicant, thus, I am not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the applicant. 7. Accordingly, the Anticipatory Bail application of the applicant – Ishrar Ahmad, filed under Section 482 of the BNSS, 2023 in connection with Crime No. 812/2024, registered at Police Station – Kotwali, Ambikapur, District – Surguja (C.G.) for alleged commission of offence punishable under Sections 318(4), 338, 336(3), and 340(2) of the BNS, is rejected.
