This is an application for anticipatory bail by sub-registrar in connection with C.R.No.I/143/2009 for the offence punishable under Sections 409, 420, 467, 468, 471 read with 34 of the Indian Penal Code registered with Bhayander Police Station, Bhayander (West), Taluka and District Thane, whose negligence is alleged to have caused loss to ex-chequor in a sum of Rs.5,14,420/-. The learned Counsel for the applicant states that in fact, the applicant had asked his 2 Appln 4103-10 superiors to ask officials in State Bank of India to mention in red ink the amount which was deposited. The learned Counsel for the applicant states that it had become necessary as miscreants had altered the amount which was actually deposited with the Bank in the first column of the challan resulting in loss to the State. Since the applicant as sub-registrar was also required to check whether the amount was correctly filled up or not, the learned Counsel for the applicant states that without prejudice to the contentions, the applicant would deposit a sum which is allegedly lost to the State before the trial Court which amount the trial Judge shall deal with at the end of the trial as per the result of the trial. 2. In view of this, though the learned APP has strong objection, the applicant s custodial interrogation may not be necessary.
