authority letter dated 07.05.2024 to the Bank, he was duly elected to the post of Treasurer and discharging his duties in that capacity. The only allegation against the petitioner is that he violated Condition No.(9)(c)(iii) of constitution of concerned Trust, which mandates that any withdrawal of funds from the Society's account must be made with the signatures of the Treasurer and the person holding the office of President/Secretary. It is further submitted that the principal accused Ram Kumar was the person, who signed and issued the cheques and withdrew the amounts from the bank. There is no material available on record to infer that the petitioner had signed any of the cheques, withdrawn any amount from the bank, or misappropriated any part of the funds. In the absence of any such material, no culpability can be attributed to the petitioner merely on the basis of the allegations made against him. It is submitted that the matter is exclusively triable by the Magistrate. Petitioner is behind the bars since 06.04.2026 without any criminal past. The trial of the case will take considerable time, therefore, no fruitful purpose would be served by keeping the petitioner in further custody, consequently, the bail application deserves to be allowed.
