According to the case of the prosecution, the petitioner was working as Branch Manager of Tirunelveli Central Co-operative Bank, Pettai Branch. The accused 3 to 7 pledged jewels with the said bank. The first accused was the jewel appraiser. He gave certificates that the jewels pledged by the accused 3 to 7 were originals. Later on, it has come to light that the jewels are fake jewels and they are not real jewels. With the above allegations, the present case has been registered. 3. The learned Counsel for the petitioner would submit that the petitioner himself believed that the appraisal certificate issued by the first accused is a genuine one and that is why, he sanctioned the loan. https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/ 4. I have considered the above submissions. As of now, there are no materials to show that the petitioner had knowledge that the certificates issued by the first accused regarding the jewels that they are gold jewels are all false certificates. 5. In view of the above position, I am inclined to grant Anticipatory Bail to the petitioner, but with stringent conditions. 6.
