The petitioner is a Block Development Officer (BDO) and the alle gation against him is that he attempted to misappropriate Government commodities sanctioned under a particular scheme. Sri Biswas, submitted that the informants , who are the members of a student organization, had influenced the present peti tioner to distribute the commodities to some persons selected by them and when t hat was not accepted by him a false and fabricated case has been lodged. The FIR was lodged on 29.01.2011 and so far, the Investigating O fficer has not been able to ascertain whether any commodity was illegally sold o ut by the petitioner. Besides this, the petitioner is a Senior Government Office r, so, there is less possibility of his jumping bail. Accordingly, the interim bail granted on 10.03.2011, is hereby m ade absolute. The Anticipatory Bail Application, accordingly, stands disposed of.
