HEMA, J. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - B.A.No. 4467 of 2008 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dated this the 15th day of July, 2008 O R D E R Application for anticipatory bail. 2. Petitioner is the 5th accused in the crime. According to the prosecution, the petitioner in collusion with other accused received Rs.2,50,000/- from the defacto-complainant promising to pay interest, but neither the interest nor the amount was returned and thereby committed the offences under sections 420 and 403 read with section 34 IPC. 3. This application is opposed. The learned Public Prosecutor submitted that the petitioner is an Accountant and he was also involved in the offence. But, the learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the petitioner is only an Accountant and the responsibility is on the President and the Secretary. It is also pointed out that other two crimes were registered against the Petitioner as Crime Nos.275/2006 and 307/2008 of the Alappuzha North Police Station. He was enlarged bail in those crimes. 4. On hearing both sides, there is nothing to substantiate the innocence of the petitioner in the matter or any ground to invoke section 438 Cr.P.C. and hence I am not inclined to grant anticipatory bail. The application is dismissed. K. HEMA, JUDGE. mn.
