Heard.

The applicant, apprehending arrest in connection with crime registered against him for the offence punishable under Sections 420 and 409 of the Indian Penal Code, has sought pre-arrest bail. The crime is registered on complaint lodged by Assistant Superintendent of Post Office. The accusations against the applicant are that bogus accounts of 7 persons were opened and amount payable to them under Employment Guarantee Scheme was deposited in those accounts and then the amount is withdrawn. The applicant is under suspension since December, 2016 and departmental enquiry is being conducted against him.

2 aba466.17 The application is opposed on the ground that custodial interrogation of the applicant is necessary to reach to the other persons who are involved in the crime. Considering the facts of the case, I am not inclined to grant the prayer made in the application. The application is dismissed. The applicant shall surrender within one week, failing which note of his conduct shall be taken at various stages of the proceedings. JUDGE Tambaskar.
