He further submitted that a forged power of attorney is prepared and land was transferred and mutation is opened. After registration of report, the statement of witnesses were recorded and after procuring documents, were examined by FSL. During investigation, these petitioners were arrested and a charge-sheet has been filed against Manish Jogi, Monu, Ramesh, Naru Nath and Bal Kishan. The offences are triable by Magistrate First Class. 9. The criminal antecedents submitted by the learned counsel for the complainant indicate that 8 criminal cases were [2025:RJ-JP:37245] (5 of 6) [CRLMB-2679/2025] registered against Naru Nath, 4 against Manish Nath, 3 against Ramesh Nath and 5 against Monu.

The order indicate that Pappu Devi, sister of present complainant has also registered an identical complaint about sale of her share by same set of accused. The accused have entered into a compromise with Pappu Devi. Further, an affidavit of Manish Jogi is filed to show that he is ready to transfer the agriculture land to the complainant Sharda Devi and also for cancellation of mutation.

Similar is the act of Manish Nath and Ramesh Nath and it indicate that the involvement is common at two cases. 10. The facts and the material indicate that the alleged offence are of serious nature and role attributed to applicant is prima facie sufficient to consider complicity of applicant in the crime. Therefore, at this juncture, considering the evidence [2025:RJ-JP:37245] (6 of 6) [CRLMB-2679/2025] collected so far, this is not a fit case to enlarge the applicant accused on bail. 11. Considering the gravity of allegations and overall facts and circumstances of the case, it is appropriate to dismiss the bail application of the applicant accused at this stage. 12. Accordingly, the applications for bail filed under Section 483 of BNSS preferred by petitioners-accused Manish Jogi S/o Late Rangnath, Monu S/o Sh. Omprakash and Rameshnath S/o Sh. Ratannath are hereby dismissed. (ASHOK KUMAR JAIN),J MR/30 to 32
