Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant is innocent and has been falsely implicated in the present case. As per the prosecution case, the informant went to the office of the Bank Manager along with a sum of Rs. 1,00,000/- in cash for the purpose of making a Fixed Deposit. It is alleged that the Manager concerned and Saurabh Gupta, who was sitting near him, obtained the signature of the informant on a blank paper. Thereafter, when the informant visited the bank, the bank employees provided him with the statement relating to the F.D., but did not provide the original F.D. receipt. On coming to know that the amount of Rs. 1,00,000/- had not been deposited in his account, the informant alleged that the said amount had been misappropriated by the bank employees in furtherance of a conspiracy. It is submitted that the applicant was posted as the Branch Manager of the bank concerned. It is further submitted that the entire amount of Rs 1,00,000/-, along with interest, has already been paid by the bank to the informant and, therefore, no amount remains due to him.
