Statutes and Provisions Involved

• The Information Technology Act, 2000 (Section 66C)
• The Indian Penal Code, 1860 (Sections 120B, 109, 409, 420, 467, 468, 471, 477A)
• Prevention of Corruption Act, 1968 (Section 13(1)(c), 13(1)(d), 13(2))
• The Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 (Section 439)

Relevant Facts of the Case

• It was alleged that an amount of ₹ 6,60,000/- was deposited in the applicant’s bank account illegally, and he had withdrawn it.
• It was stated that another co-accused, Mr Raghuwanshi, had withdrawn an amount of ₹6,95,000/- that was deposited in his account illegally.

The trial court had granted bail without looking into the merits of the matter, upon a personal bond of ₹50,000/- along with one solvent surety.

Prominent Arguments by Advocates

• The applicant’s counsel submitted that the manager had already deposited the amount, and Rajaram Raghuwanshi, the co-accused, had already been granted bail by this court.

Final Decision

• Application allowed.
• Bail granted, subject to conditions.
