Seetharamu v. The State Rep By, the Inspector of Police

O R D E R The petitioner, who apprehends arrest at the hands of the respondent police for the offences punishable under Sections 465, 468, 471, 419, 420, 506(ii) r/w 120(b) of IPC, 1860, in Crime No.22 of 2025 on the file of the respondent Police, seeks anticipatory bail.

¶2The allegation against this petitioner is that, the petitioner herein colluded with other accused, impersonated the defacto complainant, executed bogus sale deeds and power of attorney for the defacto complainant's property situated at Poonapalli Village in Survey Nos.788/1 and 798 to the extent of 4.80 acres of land, in order to grab the same; that the accused obtained a Non traceable certificate from the Bangalore Malgaeswara Police Station for the parent document of the defacto complainant's property; that thereafter, A4/C.Kumar is alleged to have impersonated the defacto complainant and executed a sale deed in favour of A1/Narayanan and who in turn A1 executed a power of attorney in favour of A2/Vadivelu @ Vadivel with the help of A3/Seetharamu, who is a Sub-Registrar at Kolamangalam SRO, who had not verified the ownership nor the documents of the said property, registered the power of attorney Deed; that when the defacto complainant came to know about the same, he lodged a complaint before the respondent police and pursuant to the direction of the learned Judicial Magistrate-II, Krishnagiri, in Crl.M.P.No.1211 of 2025, FIR came to be registered. Hence, this case.

¶3This Court had dismissed the earlier anticipatory bail petition in Crl.O.P.No.33273 of 2025 by an order dated 11.12.2025 on merits after considering the allegation against this petitioner who is working as Sub Registrar in Kolamangalam Sub Register office that without verifying the ownership nor the documents of the said property, registered the power of attorney Deed. It is a clear case of collusion with the accused A1 and A2 and it is also stated that he has been benefited from the transactions. Hence, this Court is not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner.

¶4Accordingly, this criminal original petition stands dismissed.
