The second respondent herein was an employee under the petitioner, Devadasan. It appears that the second respondent had committed misappropriation to the tune of Rs.2 Crores, while he was at Soudi Arabia. The act of misappropriation committed by the second respondent has also been caught in CCTV footage.
2. The second respondent herein applied for Anticipatory Bail by filing an Crl.O.P.(MD)No.16459 of 2017. This Court in Paragraph4 of the order dated 30.11.2017 observed that since no one sustained injury in the alleged occurrence, this Court was inclined to grant Anticipatory Bail. Actually, this is a case of misappropriation of sum of Rs.2 Crores.

3. The learned Government Advocate (Crl.Side) submitted that a sum of Rs.78,00,000/- has been recovered from another accused. The
Superintendent of Police, Tirunelveli District has sent a request to transfer the case to the CBCID, since the act of misappropriation took place abroad. Since Anticipatory Bail was granted on a factual misunderstanding of the issue, this Court cancels the Anticipatory Bail granted on 30.11.2017 in Crl.O.P.(MD)No.16459 of 2017. The learned Government Advocate (Crl.Side) submits that the case has been transferred to CBCID for further investigation. But, the petitioner is at liberty to file a fresh application for grant of relief of Anticipatory Bail.
4. Accordingly, this petition is allowed.
