IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.22221 of 2009 T.K.CHATTERJEE @ TAMAL KANTI CHATTERJEE s/o Sri N.C. Chatterjee, resident of village- Bishnupur, P.S. Bishnupur, District- Bakura (West Bengal) at present working as Branch Manager, Bihar Kshetriya Gramin Bank, Garhara Branch in the district of Begusarai. Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2 21.7.0-9 Petitioner was the Branch Manager of Jamui Branch, Chhetriya Gramin Bank, has filed this application apprehending his arrest in Jamui P.S.Case no. 311/08 instituted under Sections 406,420 and 34 IPC. In the FIR , which is lodged by one Manika Kumari, Principal of Navin Prathmik Vidyalaya Misir-Maniadda, Jamui , it is alleged that for the money coming from Government for construction of School building she along with the Secretary of the Education Committee Ranbir Singh opened a Joint Account in the name of School with the petitioner’s Bank. She alleges that government money, which was received for construction of building was deposited in the account but subsequently it appears that all the money had been withdrawn for which she claims the Manager alleging that after opening the account the passbook and the cheque book were not given to her. On behalf of the petitioner, it is submitted that the entire story is false. It appears that the informant, who was the Principal and the said Ranbir Singh from time to time withdrew the money from the account but no construction was done. When the authority inspected and found that no construction was done and money was withdrawn, 2 only to save their face , this false case has been lodged. In support of his contention my attention is drawn to various cheques issued by the Principal and counter signed by the said Ranbir Singh which clearly shows that there were withdrawal by herself duly signed by her and the said Ranbir Singh.Details of withdrawal by her and others are given to show that in fact cheque book was handed over to the account holders, who were operating the account and they have themselves squandered the money and falsely tried to implicate the petitioner. In the facts and circumstances of the case, in the event of his arrest or surrender within four weeks from today, the above named petitioner shall be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 10,000/- (ten thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of C.J.M.,Jamui in Jamui P.S.Case no. 311/08, subject to the conditions as laid down u/s 438(2) Cr.P.C.
