RESPONDENT/COMPLAINANT FOR PETITIONER : M/S.S.RAVI ADVOCATE FOR RESPONDENT : ADDITIONAL PUBLIC PROSECUTOR PETITION FOR ANTICIPATORY BAIL UNDER SEC. 438 CR.P.C. ORDER : THE COURT MADE THE FOLLOWING ORDER :- Apprehending arrest, the petitioner, in Crime No.296 of 2011 on the file of the respondent Police for the alleged offences punishable under Sections 406, 465 and 468 of the Indian Penal Code, has come forward with this petition seeking for anticipatory bail. 2. According to the case of the prosecution, the petitioner was the President of Puliyoor Village Panchayat and the defacto complainant was the Vice President. The allegation is that by forging signature of the Vice President, the petitioner has misappropriated a sum of Rs.1,15,216/- belonging to the Panchayat. 3. The learned counsel for the petitioner would refute the above allegations. He would that all the transactions of the panchayat are borne out of the record. 4. The learned Additional Public Prosecutor is not in a position to show as to why the Block Development Officer has not given any complaint regarding the same. This creates some suspicion in the bona fides of the defacto complainant. In such view of the matter, I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner. https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/ 5. Accordingly, the petitioner is ordered to be released on bail, in the event of arrest or on his appearance before the learned Judicial Magistrate, Manamadurai, on executing a bond for a sum of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand only) with two sureties each for a like sum to the satisfaction of the respondent police or the police officer who intends to arrest or to the satisfaction of the learned Magistrate concerned and on further condition that the petitioner shall appear before the respondent police every day at 10.30 a.m., for a period of four weeks.
