AB 3227/2011 BEFORE THE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE B D AGARWAL By this application under Section 438 of the Code of Criminal Pr ocedure Code, 1973, the petitioner, namely, Sri Rajib Kumar Gogoi, is praying fo r bail apprehending his arrest in connection with Jorhat PS Case No. 672 of 2011 , under Section 409 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860. Heard Sri T J Mahanta, learned counsel for the petitioner as wel l as Sri B S Sinha, learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the State of Assam. Also perused the Case Diary. The FIR has been lodged by the Branch Manager of Central Bank of India, Gar-Ali Branch, Jorhat, alleging that the petitioner had misappropriated nearly 30 lacs of rupees by way of making false entries of deposits and had wit hdrawn money through various accounts. The learned Additional Public Prosecutor submitted that all the Bank employees so far examined by the Investigating Officer have given vivid des cription as to how the aforesaid petitioner had committed the offence while work ing as head cashier. Under the above facts and circumstances of the case, I am of the view that custodial interrogation of the petitioner may be required. Considering the gravity of the offence, if the petitioner is giv en the privilege of anticipatory bail, it would amount to misuse of the provisio ns of Section 438 CrPC. Accordingly, the Anticipatory Bail Application stands rejected. The interim bail granted on 30.09.2011 stands vacated. The Registry is directed to forward a copy of this order to the Investigating Officer, who shall take into custody the accused and complete the investigation in a scientific manner.
