Thurlapati Madhavi Prasanna, v. The State Of Telangana,

HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE C. PRAVEEN KUMAR CRIMINAL PETITION No.2005 of 2015 ORDER:

The petitioner/accused filed the present application under Section 438 Cr.P.C., seeking release in the event of her arrest in connection with Crime No.41 of 2013 of Chengomul Police Station, Ranga Reddy District, registered for the offences punishable under Sections 409 and 420 of I.P.C.

The case of the prosecution is as under The petitioner, who worked as bank manager in the year 20082009, is alleged to have misappropriated an amount of Rs.4,66,808/- by fraudulently withdrawing some of the amounts from the deposits. Basing on these allegations, the above case came to be registered. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Public Prosecutor appearing for the respondent-State. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that though the petitioner worked as bank manager in the year 2008-2009, a report came to be lodged in the year 2013 and, therefore, seeks anticipatory bail. The learned Public Prosecutor opposed the criminal petition. A perusal of the averments in the report would show that the petitioner was also involved in another case i.e., crime No.668 of 2012 of Madhapur Police Station registered for the offences punishable under Sections 406 and 409 of IPC pursuant to a report lodged by Manager, State Bank Hyderabad.

Having regard to the said circumstance and taking into consideration the nature of offence alleged, I am not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner. However, the petitioner, if so advised, shall surrender before the appropriate Court and make an

application for bail, after giving prior notice to the learned Public Prosecutor, in which event, the same shall be dealt with, in accordance with law, on the same day or at the earliest. Accordingly, the criminal petition is dismissed. Miscellaneous petitions pending, if any, shall also stand closed. __________________ C. PRAVEEN KUMAR, J Date: 20.03.2015 ska
