Keeping in view the serious allegations against the petitioner regarding misappropriation of amount of `1,33,00,000/-, getting it deposited in his personal account and then withdrawing the same, I find that petitioner is required for custodial interrogation and no ground is made out for grant of anticipatory bail to him.
Therefore, finding no merit in the present petition, the same is dismissed.
