4. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has been falsely implicated in the case only for the reason that he happens to be the Programme Officer and was present at the place of his posting where the defalcation is said to have taken place, the date of his posting being from 21.1.2021 to 23.8.2021. Some of the illegal deposits having been done during the time when the petitioner was posted, is the only reason for false implication of the petitioner. No amount has been traced to the account of the petitioner, who has no criminal antecedent.

5. The application for anticipatory bail is opposed by learned A.P.P. for the State.

Having heard learned counsel for the parties and taking into consideration the allegations against the petitioner in the F.I.R., the material that has transpired in course of investigation as also the contents of the order of the learned trial Court and the petitioner not having any criminal antecedent, 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 Ariyari (Kasar O.P.)
