Thereafter only Rs.4,10,000/- was given back to Harihar Prasad Dewangan while rest of the amount were taken away. Thereby the offence has been committed.

Per contra, learned State counsel opposes the prayer for grant of bail and would submit that the applicant may not be released on bail as the investigation is going on.

Considering the nature of allegation made and taking into the fact that investigation is still going on. Taking into the present stage of investigation, I am not inclined to release the applicant on bail. 7.
