Partial Relief For Congress Leader Singh In Property Forgery Case | Jaipur News
Kota: Former union minister Bhanwar Jitendra Singh, who is the general secretary of All India Congress Committee (AICC) and member of the Congress Working Committee (CWC), received partial relief on Thursday from the Bundi district judge, who changed the non-bailable warrant (NBW) issued for his arrest by the chief judicial magistrate (CJM) to a bailable warrant.
However, the district court upheld the cognizance taken by the chief judicial magistrate (CJM) of the case against Singh of alleged forgery of a trust deed in a bid to take over properties belonging to the erstwhile Bundi royal family.
The CJM, Bundi, on November 18, 2021, had ordered NBW for arrest of Jitendra Singh, his father-in-law Bijendra Singh, and former zila pramukh of Bundi, Shri Nath Singh Hada, who is now dead, in a case filed against them under IPC Sections 420 (cheating), 467 (forgery), 468 (forgery for the purpose of cheating), 471 (using a forged document as genuine) and 120(B) (criminal conspiracy).
The CJM had ordered the three to be arrested and produced before the court on January 6, 2022. Singh filed a revision petition before the district judge against the arrest warrant and the cognizance taken by the CJM of the case.
The Bundi city police in December 2017 filed the case on the basis of a complaint lodged by Avinash Kumar Chandna, resident of Safdarjung Enclave in New Delhi, who claimed to be a friend of late Ranjeet Singh, son of late Bahadur Singh, the last king of the erstwhile royal family of Bundi.
Chandna alleged that Singh along with Bijendra Singh and Shri Nath Singh hatched a conspiracy to take over the properties of Ranjeet Singh, who did not have any child.
In further allegations, he said that Jitendra Singh, who is the son of Ranjeet Singh’s sister Mahendra Kumari, had forged the signature of his maternal uncle in back date of May 2008 on a forged deed that led to the transfer of his properties to Kul Devi Ashapura Mataji Trust, which was headed by Singh.
