3. The First Information Report has been registered on the complaint made by the Bank Manager. The petitioner appears to be the Assistant Manager of the bank. According to the petitioner, there is no allegations against him. Be that as it may, if there is no allegation made out, it is for the investigating officer to file necessary report in this regard. Therefore, as there are serious allegations against the other accused, the First Information Report cannot be quashed at this stage.
