The case of the prosecution in brief is that the Branch head of Union Bank of India, Brodipet branch, Guntur gave a report alleging that five Persons, Who are Al to A5, worked in the branch. As per the said report, the regular auditor of the Branch found certain irregularI'tieS in Sanction and disbursement self help group (SHGCC) and related saving accounts of the groups. The bank conducted investigation and found siphoning of funds by transferring the amounts to saving account of different individuals, material alterations enhancl-ng the limits without following SHG guidelines, crediting the loan amount to group saving account instead of individual saving accounts, keeping part of the loan amount in saving account for future adjustment etc. Some of the cheques related to Government sponsored schemes and issued in favour of other SHG group were transferred to individual saving accounts without verifying the genuineness of the payee. The enquiries made by the investigating officer revealed that irregularities were deliberately committed. When the transactions were placed before the fraud monitoring group, the transaction/incidents were classified as fraud. lt was also found that serious irregularities were observed in crediting of pasupu Kumkuma (scheme by Government) cheques in saving accounts of 43 self help groups. The irregularities found were that the amount received was dl'rectly credited to individual accounts without authenticatI-On for the corrections made on the cheques. Instead of crediting the amounts to SHG group accounts and there from to the individual accounts, the amounts were cred,-ted to individual accounts directly. --`~ KSR, J crI.P.No.4806 of 2025 4.
