Jan 13 - Panjim bench of Bombay High Court today granted anticipatory bail to BJP MLA Sadanand Tanavade and BJP functionary Satish Dhond in the Philip Neri Rodrigues forged signature case. The High Court set aside the earlier order of Additional Sessions Court of Mapusa rejecting anticipatory bail to the duo. The order was challenged in the high court. The high court had completed the hearing a fortnight back and the judgment was reserved. It may be noted that the police had filed cases against Mr Dhond and Mr Tanavade along with others for allegedly forging signature of Philip Neri on his membership application of Bharatiya Janata Party which led to his disqualification as an MLA. Interestingly, high court recently struck down Speaker's order to disqualify him thereby reinstating Mr Rodrigues as MLA. He was sworn in as cabinet minister in Rane-led government thereafter. -- Cheers, Gabe Menezes.
