CRM-M No. 5690 of 2011 **** Kumar Kaushal Kaushik vs. State of Haryana Present: Mr. Vinod Arya, Advocate for the petitioner. **** This is a petition for anticipatory bail in case bearing FIR No. 64 dated 02.02.2011, under Sections 420, 409, 467, 468 and 471 IPC registered at Police Station City Fatehabad, District Fatehabad, filed by the Chief Manager, Union Bank of India, G.T.Road, Fatehabad. The allegations are that the petitioner dishonestly got fictitious accounts opened, changed the names of the payees, transferred money from one account to another and withdrew ` 8,40,112/-. Learned counsel for the petitioner has argued that the petitioner has been placed under suspension and that no action is being taken against the two officers who were senior to him and further that the petitioner has already deposited the amount in question. He has also argued that nothing is to be recovered from the petitioner and in these circumstances his custodial interrogation is not required. I am not impressed. For a banker to embezzle bank money is a very serious offence. The custodial interrogation of the petitioner would definitely be required to ascertain the modus operandi so that such defalcation can be blocked. In the circumstances I find no reason to differ with the view taken by the learned Additional Sessions Judge, though not necessarily for the same reasons. Dismissed.
