The trial court has held that there is no reliable evidence regarding making of demand. It is found that the exact date of the demand was not stated in the complaint. Apart from this, there is no recovery at the hands of the public officer but the recovery is only made from one Sandeep Ahirekar who was not the public :2: servant. It was the prosecution case that Sandeep Ahirekar was the nephew of accused no.1. The evidence has been found to be insufficient. Hence, leave refused. Consequently, the appeal papers to be filed.
