The petitioner holding the post of Block Development Officer has been made an accused in view of certain allegations made by the informant that he too appeared to be a party in the misappropriation and embezzlement of government funds. Counsel for the petitioner has submitted that till date no material has been collected to show that either any misappropriation had taken place or that the petitioner had any role in the alleged offence. He would further submit that the case is still under investigation and therefore the petitioner being a Government Officer is not likely to abscond during the investigation of the case.

If the police however after investigation of the case would find any involvement of the petitioner and/or would submit a charge sheet against the petitioner, his anticipatory bail would be cancelled and petitioner thereafter will have to surrender within fifteen days of filing of 2 such charge sheet. In order to expedite the investigation the petitioner after surrendering within a period of four weeks and being granted bail by the court below for the aforementioned limited period would appear before the Investigating Officer and produce all the documents and/or any information wanted for completing the investigation whereafter the Investigating Officer must submit his final conclusion within the period of three months from the date the petitioner appearing before him.
