This is First bail application filed under Section 483 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 (for short ‘BNSS’) for grant of regular bail to the applicant who has been arrested in connection with Crime No.16/2025 registered at Police Station- Aundhi, District - Mohla-Manpur-Ambagarh (C.G.), for the offence punishable under Sections 409, 420 of IPC. 2. The prosecution story in brief, is that on 05.03.2025, an FIR was lodged by the complainant stating that he works in the post of Senior VAISHALI LUCKY NAGARIA Digitally signed by VAISHALI LUCKY NAGARIA Date: 2025.11.13 11:34:37 +0530 2 Manager at Indian Bank Branch – Aoudhi. It has been alleged in the complaint that the applicant was retired from the post of CSA (Cashier) on 29.06.2024 from the said bank and during his work tenure the applicant has fraudulently transferred Rs. 49,24,563/- from the bank accounts of different customers of the bank. Therefore, FIR has been lodged against the applicant. 3. It is argued by the learned counsel for the applicant that the applicant is innocent and has been falsely implicated in this case and allegation levelled against the present applicant that during his work tenure the applicant has fraudulently transferred Rs. 49,24,563/- from the bank accounts of different customers of the bank. He further submits that applicant was retired from the post of CSA (Cashier) on 29.06.2024 from the said bank. It is further submitted that the charge-sheet has been filed in this case. The applicant is in jail since 26.05.2025 and trial is likely to take quite long time for its conclusion, therefore, he prays for grant of bail. 4. On the other hand, the learned State counsel opposes the bail application and submits that the charge-sheet has been filed in this case. It is further submitted that applicant has fraudulently transferred Rs.49,24,563/- from the bank accounts of different customers of the bank. He further submits that applicant was retired from the post of CSA (Cashier) on 29.06.2024 from the said bank, therefore, he is not entitled for grant of bail. 5. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused all of the documents available on record. 6. Taking into consideration the fact and circumstances of the case, submissions made by learned counsel for the parties, allegation 3 levelled against the present applicant and considering the fact that applicant was posted on the post of Senior Manager at Indian Bank, Branch- Aoudhi and during his work tenure the applicant has fraudulently transferred Rs. 49,24,563/- from the bank accounts of different customers of the bank thus this Court is of the view that it is not a fit case to release the applicant on bail. 7. Accordingly, the Third bail application of the applicant namely Jaipal Singh Markam, involved in Crime No. 16/2025 registered at Police Station- Aundhi, District - Mohla-Manpur-Ambagarh (C.G.), for the offence punishable under Sections 409, 420 of IPC, is rejected at this stage. 8. Needless to say that the trial Court concerned is at liberty to proceed and conclude the trial expeditiously. 9. Office is directed to send a certified copy of this order to the trial Court concerned for necessary information and compliance forthwith. - Sd/- (Ramesh Sinha) Chief Justice vaishali
