Learned advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that the petitioner was falsely implicated. In any event, in order to establish the bona fides of the petitioner, a deposit of the so-called defalcated amount of Rs.25,000/- was made by the petitioner. He relies upon a deposit slip in support of such contention.

State is represented.

Considering the claim of the petitioner that he deposited the defalcated amount of Rs.25,000/- and considering the materials in the case diary, the gravity of the offence and his involvement therein, we are inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner.

Accordingly, we direct that in the event of arrest the petitioner shall be released on bail upon furnishing a bond of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand Only), with two sureties

of like amount each, to the satisfaction of the arresting officer and also be subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 438(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 and on further condition that the petitioner shall report before the Investigating Officer once in a month till the conclusion of the investigation and on further condition that the petitioner shall appear on every date before the jurisdictional Court on and from the date fixed for appearance of the accused and in default the jurisdictional Court will pass appropriate order to secure the presence of the petitioner in Court including cancelling the anticipatory bail granted without further reference to this Court.

Prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioner is allowed.

CRM (A) 3601 of 2022 is disposed of.
