It is further submitted by the learned Senior Advocate appearing for the petitioner that in the F.I.R. itself, it has been mentioned that a sum of Rs.90,461/- has already been recovered from the petitioner and the petitioner is ready and willing to deposit Rs.11,51,708/- in installments without prejudice to his defence subject to final decision in this case. It is next submitted by the learned Senior Advocate appearing for the petitioner that in fact the petitioner has not misappropriated any money and the informant is under the impression that the petitioner has misappropriated the money because reconciliation of the bank statement submitted by the petitioner has not been done properly and the petitioner is ready and willing to cooperate with the investigation of the case and also for reconciliation of all the deposits made by him. Hence, it is submitted that the petitioner be given the privilege of anticipatory bail. Learned Addl. P.P. opposes the prayer for grant of anticipatory bail.
