Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned counsel for the State. 3. The learned APP opposes prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioner. 4. The allegation is that by virtue of forged power of attorney the lands were sold to several persons. 5. The petitioner before this Court is a person who has identified the power of attorney holder and the purchaser.
