It is further alleged that the petitioners were aware of the said misappropriation committed by A1. Hence, they have been arrayed as accused in this case. The present petition has been filed seeking anticipatory bail.

The petitioners are ready to cooperate with the investigation. Hence, he prayed for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioners.
