3. As per the prosecution case, the informant states that he happens to be the Branch Manager of Bharat Financial Inclusion Limited (BFIL) which gives financial assistance to women.

4. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.52583 of 2023(2) dt.19-08-2023 2/2 the petitioner has been falsely implicated in the case. Admittedly he was an employee in the BFIL and it was as a result of dispute other than what has been narrated in the F.I.R. that he has been falsely implicated in this case. Besides this case so far as Pranpur P.S. Case no.205 of 2022 is concerned, the same was lodged by this petitioner himself, however, it was subsequently falsely shown that the amount recovered was found in the house of the petitioner himself. It is a case of accounting dispute.

6. Having heard learned counsel for the parties and taking into consideration the nature of allegation against the petitioner in the F.I.R., it is directed that the petitioner, above named, in the event of his arrest or surrender before the learned Court below within a period of four weeks, be released on anticipatory bail in connection with Bihpur P.S. Case no.338 of 2023 on furnishing bail bond of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the learned A.C.J.M. 1st, Naugachia, District Bhagalpur.
