Pritam Pal,J. (Oral)

Petitioner has brought this petition under section 439 of Code

of Criminal Procedure for seeking regular bail in case FIR No. 149 dated

8.10.2008 under sections 419, 420, 120-B IPC registered at Police Station

City Gurdaspur.

As per allegations of the prosecution, Paramjit Kaur co-

accused, who is still at large, had withdrawn a sum of Rs 50,000/- from

Punjab State Cooperative Bank, Gurdaspur by playing fraudulent means in

connivance with the petitioner who is serving as a Class-IV employee in the

said Bank. It is pointed out by learned State counsel that aforesaid Paramjit

Kaur had no account in the said Bank and the withdrawal of the aforesaid

amount could be possible only with the connivance of the petitioner whose

photograph was found in CCTV camera installed in the bank showing him

to be standing with said Paramjit Kaur.

Criminal Misc. -M No. 4171 of 2009 (O&M) -2-

Taking into consideration the seriousness and the gravity of the

offence, no ground is made out for granting anticipatory bail.

Dismissed.
