Borade, A.P.P. for respondents. ........ (CORAM : V.R.KINGAONKAR,J.) DATE : 19 th November, 2010. PER COURT : 1. The application is for anticipatory bail. 2. The applicant is Gram Sevak, who was attached to Gram Panchayat at village Nimgaon during the relevant period. It appears that the amount of Rs. 2,35,320/- was sanctioned for construction of latrines. There were 54 beneficiaries to whom the Government financial assistance of Rs. 3,500/- each was to be made available for the purpose of such construction of latrines. A report was submitted by a private complainant to the effect that out of 54 beneficiaries the only two of the persons were actually 2 granted the amounts on completion of the construction of latrines whereas others neither constructed the latrines nor were paid and the entire amount has been misappropriated. 3. The investigation papers purport to show that there was construction of latrines and Auditor recorded the distribution of the amount by the applicant in accordance with completion certificates issued by the concerned Engineer. Thus, prima facie, there appears no tangible material to infer involvement of the applicant in the alleged offence of misappropriation. The private complaint is lodged by a private person, who claimed to be a social worker. In this view of the matter, the application is allowed in terms of the interim order dated 1st September, 2010.
