Sections 61(2)/314/316(4)/318(2)/336(3) of BNS, 2023. The FIR dated 11.09.2025 reveals that the petitioner who was working as the Senior Staff and Head of Accounts Department in a particular company is alleged to have transferred company funds to his personal account amounting to huge amount of money i.e., around 3 crores. It is also alleged that the petitioner has transferred and misappropriated the money by depositing the same not only to own account but to the account of his family members. Mr. Sikdar, learned counsel for the petitioner submits that an FIR was lodged by a different informant on earlier occasion and in connection with the said FIR, the petitioner was granted interim pre arrest bail but in compliance of
Page No.# 3/4 the condition of the said bail order, when the petitioner went and appear before the Investigating Officer, he was apprised that there was another FIR lodged against him and in connection to the subsequent FIR, the petitioner was arrested and put behind the bars. He submits that both the FIRs constituted the same allegation and the account number of the petitioner are same by which it is alleged that he has transferred the company’s money. Mr. R. Kaushik, learned Addl. Public Prosecutor however submits that the petitioner is alleged to have transferred not some small amount of money but crores of money to his own account as well as to his relatives account and as such, he prayed for calling of the Case Diary. I have heard the counsels and I have gone through the documents.
It is noticed that both the FIRs reflects the same allegation against the petitioner and that only difference is that the informant is different. In view of the same, this Court finds it fit that the petitioner may be released on pre arrest bail on furnishing a bail bond of Rs. 20,000/- with one (1) local surety of the like amount to the satisfaction of the CJM, Golagath under the following conditions:-
1. The petitioner shall cooperate with the investigation and shall appear

The petitioner shall not leave the jurisdiction of the CJM, Golagath without prior permission of the said Court. Petition is disposed of. JUDGE Comparing Assistant
