BHATIA, J. DATE : 21ST SEPTEMBER 2011 P. C. : The applicant seeks anticipatory bail in Crime No. 231 of 2009 registered at Paydhonie Police Station for the offences punishable under Sections 408, 410, 420, 465, 467 and 471 of the Indian Penal Code on a report lodged by one Jaahid Abdul Rehman Kaasu. 2. As per the F.I.R., the present applicant was employed by complainant Jaahid Abdul Rehman Kaasu in February, 2009. Several cheques of the complainant's company were handed over to the applicant for depositing the same in the account of the company. However, the applicant opened a fake account with Kotak Mahindra Bank in the name of the same company i.e. Millennium Enterprises and Modern Trades and deposited the said cheques in that account, withdrew the amounts and thus committed offence. 3. According to the applicant, the account was opened as per the directions given by the employer and the contact number of Saud Alam B. Khan who was the partner of the complainant's firm was given to the bank. As per the directions of the employer, the cheques were deposited in that account, and whenever any amount was withdrawn, pre-intimation used to be sent by the bank officer to said MP 2 ABA777_11 Saud Alam B. Khan whose mobile number was with the bank. According to the applicant, he is falsely implicated in the case. 4. On the last date, the prosecution was directed to collect necessary information / documents from the bank. In view of the letter dated 20th September 2011 addressed by Kotak Mahindra Bank to the Senior Police Inspector, Paydhonie Police Station, the contention of the applicant is supported. The contact numbers given by the bank are actually the mobile numbers of the partner of the complainant firm and not of the applicant. 5. Therefore, in the event of arrest in Crime No. 231 of 2011, the applicant be released on his executing P.R. of Rs. 10,000/- with one surety in the like amount with condition that he shall make himself available to the police as and when required for the purpose of interrogation.
