% 08.08.2017 Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner was working as an accountant in the company of the Complainant. As per the FIR, petitioner along with technical supervisor-Rajiv Yadav and executive of the company-Kavita Singh, had embezzled around `1.07 crores of the company during the period 2012-13 to 2015-16. During the audit, this fact was noticed by the auditor and consequently, a complaint was lodged.

It is submitted that investigation is over and charge sheet has been filed. Petitioner is in custody for more than six months. Trial is likely to take time. Other co-accused persons- Pramod, Rajiv Yadav and Kavita Singh have not yet been charge-sheeted. Rajiv Yadav and Kavita Singh were the seniors of the petitioner at the relevant time. Therefore, it is prayed that the petitioner be admitted to bail.

Learned APP for the State and learned counsel for the complainant have opposed the grant of bail to the petitioner. It is submitted that during the period 2012-13 to 2015-16 petitioner had embezzled around `1.07 crores and has transferred the said amount to his account and the accounts of his relatives. However, it is not disputed that investigation is complete and that the petitioner is in custody for more than 6 months.

Keeping in mind the totality of circumstances, petitioner is admitted to bail subject to his furnishing a personal bond in the sum of `50,000/- with one surety in the like amount to the satisfaction of trial court.

Bail application is disposed of.
