A court on Monday granted interim protection to lawyer Shekhar Jagtap, who has been booked for allegedly forging documents to appear as a public prosecutor in multiple cases against a builder. Additional Sessions Judge Swapnil Tawshikar, hearing the anticipatory bail of the advocate, granted him ad-interim relief till March 14.
It is important to note the investigating officer of the case has not recorded statements of ministers from Mantralaya (state secretariat) until now and, hence, it is important to protect the applicant till some material is placed on record by the prosecution, the court said.
