¶15

I have heard the learned counsel for the applicant and the learned Additional Public Prosecutor. Perused record.

¶16

The learned counsel for the Applicant submitted that there are two subsequent developments which require this Court to reconsider the prayer for anticipatory bail. Firstly, it is submitted that the applicant has deposited an amount of Rs.8,00,100/- on 18 January 2021 with the concerned bank and secondly, the investigation is complete and the charge-sheet is filed on 3^rd December 2020.

¶17

5. It is submitted that the Accused No.2 Mr.Dattatray

¶18

Kanade who had also withdrawn his anticipatory bail application, has been granted anticipatory bail by the learned Sessions Judge.

¶19

The learned Additional Public Prosecutor seeks time.

¶20

According to the prosecution the total amount involved in the offence is to the tune of Rs.30 lakhs and odd, out of which the applicant has deposited an amount of Rs.8,00,100/- on 18^th January 2021. The applicant is stated to be a passing officer. The applicant is Accused No.3.

¶23

Having regard to the overall circumstances and further having regard to the submission that the Accused No.2 Dattatray has been granted anticipatory bail by the learned Sessions Judge it would be appropriate to grant liberty to the applicant to approach the learned Sessions Judge. Thus the present application is disposed of with a liberty to the applicant to approach the learned Sessions Judge for anticipatory bail. If such an application is filed the learned Sessions Judge shall decide the same as expeditiously as possible, on its own merits and without being influenced by the withdrawal of the application before this Court.
