---- Respondent --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For Applicant :

Mr. Parag Kotecha, Advocate For Respondent :

Mr. Anil S. Pandey, Govt. Advocate --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hon'ble Shri Justice Goutam Bhaduri Order On Board 20.01.2016 1.

This is the first bail application filed under Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure for grant of regular bail to the applicant who has been arrested in connection with Crime No.73/2015, registered at Police Station- Khandgawa, District Korea (C.G.) for the offence punishable under Section 420, 467, 468, 471 of IPC. 2.

As per the prosecution case, the allegation against the applicant is that by putting the false signature and interpolating the amount in the cheque being in capacity of the Accountant, total amount of Rs.4,40,000/- was misappropriated.

3.

Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant has been falsely implicated in this case as the cheque is always under the control of other persons namely Swati Patel, Nitu Singh and Suruchi Devi and therefore instead of getting hold of the original

culprits, the applicant has been inculpated. He further submits that all the documents have been seized, the enquiry was conducted and the applicant was not given an opportunity of hearing and the charge sheet has been filed, therefore, he may be enlarged on bail. 4.

Per contra, learned State counsel opposes the prayer for grant of bail.

5.

I have heard learned counsel appearing for the parties and perused the case diary.

6.

Taking into consideration the nature of allegation and the evidence which is documentary in nature; considering the facts and circumstances of the case and the degree of allegation; further taking into fact that the charge sheet has been filed and the applicant is in jail since 08.09.2015, I am inclined to release the applicant on bail.

7.

Accordingly, the bail application filed under Section 439 of the Cr.P.C. is allowed.

8.

It is directed that applicant shall be released on bail on furnishing a personal bond in the sum of Rs.25,000/- with one surety in the like sum to the satisfaction of the concerned trial Court, for his appearance as and when directed.

9.

Certified copy as per rules.
