He submits that applicants have never visited the village where the land in question was situated. He submits that the co-accused and the main accused have already been granted bail by this Court.
6. Learned State counsel vehemently opposed the bail application and submits that in the Registry and Power of Attorney of the said land photographs of the present applicant were there. He submits that on the basis of the statements recorded till date the role and involvement of the applicants stand disclosed. Thus, applicants are not entitled to be released on bail.
7. Having heard the rival contention of the parties and after perusal of the record, this Court is of the view that applicants/accused had illegally and
fraudulently prepared the Power of Attorney by impersonation in collusion with other accused persons. Thus, the bail applications of the applicants deserve to be rejected. Accordingly, bail applications are rejected.
8. Pending applications, if any, stand disposed of.
