Anticipatory Bail Under BNSS | Dispute Over Land Compensation Entitlement Does Not Constitute Prima Facie Forgery Without Investigative Confirmation : Bombay HC
The Bombay High Court granted anticipatory bail to an applicant accused of forging Gram Panchayat receipts for Bullet Train compensation, holding that a civil dispute over land boundaries and entitlement cannot, by itself, establish criminal forgery. This clarifies that mere discrepancies in documentation during compensation claims do not automatically trigger criminal liability, protecting landowners from premature arrest in complex land acquisition cases.
