2. His submission is placed on record.

3. Though no relief can be granted to the petitioner as such, the issue raised by the Petitioner being of general importance, it would be required of this court to issue certain general directions.

4. The above matter having arisen out of a fake surety which had been created on the property of the petitioner and the said property having been brought to sale on account of default by the accused in the criminal matter, it is only then that the petitioner came to know of the fake surety/security created on his property.

5. The learned AGA has been unable to point out the safeguards which are built in, in respect of collection of sureties except to state that any person could furnish photocopies of the documents to the value fixed by the Court while granting a bail, anticipatory bail or passing any such order and the said document would be taken on record as security.

6. I am of the considered opinion that the same is not sufficient enough a safeguard like that evidenced in the present
