This application, for grant of anticipatory bail, arises out of Chapra Town Police Station Case No. 279 of 2018, disclosing offences under Sections 406 and 420 of the Indian Penal Code.

¶15

The allegation against the petitioner, as per the First Information Report, lodged by one Dr. Rajeev Kumar Singh, is that the petitioner was the Accountant in his clinic and he misappropriated a sum of Rs. 3,00,000/- fraudulently taking advantage of his position.

money, but no money was returned by the petitioner’s mother.

¶18

Learned Counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is innocent and has not committed any offence in the manner alleged and at the time of lodging of the First Information Report, no statement of account or audit report was submitted before the police at the first instance.

¶19

Learned Counsel for the informant submits that the statement of accounts has been annexed in the counter affidavit filed on his behalf and from perusal of the same, it transpires that the petitioner was indulged in defalcation by deliberately disclosing the wrong total after addition of the total amount and in that way, he defalcated a sum of Rs. 3,00,000/-

¶20

After having heard learned Counsel for the parties, it transpires that there is a dispute of accounting, for which the First Information Report was lodged by the informant without attaching the statement of accounts and as such, the allegation of defalcation of Rs. 3,00,000/- was not corroborated by any substantive evidence on the part of the informant.

¶21

Considering the above, this application is allowed.
