                   learned APP for the State.

                                   2. The petitioner apprehends his arrest in

                   connection with Kotwali P.S. Case No.198 of 2025, dated

                   12.04.2025 registered for the offence punishable under Sections

                   316(2), 318(4) and 3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita.

                                   3. The prosecution case, in brief, is that the

                   petitioner and two co-accused persons, namely, Pankaj Kumar

                   and Mahesh Prasad, were working as delivery boys with

                   Identify Plus Delivery Service Pvt. Ltd., Bihar and Jharkhand. It

                   is alleged that they misappropriated Rs. 1,95,301/- and 672

                   parcels worth Rs. 1,84,052/-, i.e., a total sum of Rs. 3,79,353/-,

                   from the company.

          the petitioner is innocent and has been falsely implicated in this

          case. He further submits that the petitioner was working as a

          delivery boy in the said company and, in the course of his

          employment, had taken a personal loan of Rs. 44,500/- from the

          company, which he is ready to repay. Lastly, it is submitted that

          the petitioner has no criminal antecedents.

                          5. On the other hand, the learned APP for the State

          has opposed the prayer for bail of the petitioner.

                          6. Considering the submissions made on behalf of

          the petitioner, this Court directs the petitioner to prepare a

          demand draft of the amount in question, i.e., Rs. 44,500/-, in

          favour of the said company, and the same shall be paid to the

          authorised office-bearer of the company before furnishing the

          bail bonds.

                       7. In view of the above, let the above named

          petitioner, be released on bail, in the event of his arrest or

          surrender before the learned Court below within a period of six

          weeks from today, on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 10,000/-

          (Rupees Ten Thousand) with two sureties of the like amount

                                      (iv) the petitioner(s) shall in no way try to induce or
