FIR was registered against the petitioner under the orders of Deputy Superintendent of Police, Sub Division, Bhuchho, Bathinda for misappropriation of `14,11,050/- lying in malkhana. This fact is not disputed that the petitioner was custodian of money lying in the malkhana and he has given the same to Inspector Harbans Singh, SHO of the police station. The plea raised is that the petitioner was subordinate to Inspector Harbans Singh, SHO, who has taken the money from him with the promise to return but later on became dishonest.
