allegedly received Rs.2,82,400/- either from the accused No. 1 S. K. Financial Services and Prabhu Foods.

Thus considering the above referred evidence, the learned Counsel for the applicant, on instructions submits that he is ready to deposit the amount alleged to have received by the applicant i.e. Rs.2,82,400/- in the trial Court. 5) Since, the charge-sheet has been filed and as the applicant has agreed to deposit the above-referred amount in the trial Court, I am of the opinion that the applicant is entitled for grant bail. 6) Furthermore, there is every possibility that the applicant would not be available for trial.
