It is the contention of learned counsel for the petitioner that the matter is pertaining to the year 1999-2000 and even according to the prosecution, there was temporary misappropriations of Rs.12.00 lakhs and odd by the petitioner herein and there is no evidence of giving memos to him to cause production of relevant records and also to repay the said amount to the department and the petitioner was retired from the service in the year 2008 and there is no incriminating material against him and hence he may be granted anticipatory bail. Learned Public Prosecutor has opposed the application claiming that the investigation of the case is not yet completed. As per the record, memos were given to him to produce relevant record. In fact in spite of giving number of adjournments, no such copies of memos are filed before the court.

In the circumstances, this Court is not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, the criminal petition is dismissed. However, the petitioner is at liberty to approach the concerned court and file the regular bail application which shall be disposed of on merits on the very same day of filing itself. ________________________________ G.
