Subsequently, on 22.8.2013 he secured the presence of

Later he handed over the CD file to his successor i.e., L.W.13, CI of Police for further investigation. However, he was cross examined at length by the counsel for the accused A1 and A2 as well as for the remaining accused A3 and A4 wherein he admitted that as per the FIR, the offence took place prior to 9.2.2013 and it was reported in the police station on 15.8.2013 and he stated that the reasons for the delay is not mentioned in the said FIR for which he stated that there are no reasons for the delay as the bank authorities had acquired knowledge with respect to the offence and they verified the transactions and approached the police station on 15.8.2013 for taking legal action.
However, he admitted that the same is not mentioned in column No.8 of the FIR. He admitted that as the bank being a nationalized bank, all the said persons are considered to be the public servants. Further more, he denies that before prosecuting, the CI ought to have taken permission as under section 195 of Cr.P.C, for which he stated that there is no such necessity to obtain prior sanction in the present case on hand as it is nothing but misappropriation of amounts. Further he admitted that as per Ex.P.1 the government has deposited the crop insurance amounts in the sundry creditors accounts and he admitted for the same, for which he stated that it is not only the crop insurance amount but also the various other amounts which were deposited in

Further he stated that the role of the farmer as well as the government employee do not come at this stretch as the Sundry Creditor Account consists of various accounts and only the bank authorities have the knowledge of it. Further he denies that he did not try to examine other bank employees of Andhra Bank, Dhone Branch as he stated he was on transfer and thereby he handed over the CD file to his successor i.e.,

30. In addition to that, he have not step ahead to know the names of the public who have suffered due to the said alleged mis appropriation and his investigation is silent about it. He further admitted that he has not received any transaction copy about 32 transactions mentioned in Ex.P.1.

Subsequently he was further cross examined wherein he admitted that he has not seized any case property to the present case on hand and he stated that only he made a requisition to the bank authorities for providing the case property and relevant document but on account of his transfer he was not able to receive the same and he also admitted that the said requisition letter is not filed before the court. He further admitted that he has not further conducted any investigation and further stated that the case was transferred to CCS. He denies for the suggestion that A1 and A2 are innocent and P.W.2 never stated before him as per Ex.P.2 and further he also denies for the suggestion that prior sanction is required in prosecuting the public servants in the present case on hand and however he admitted that neither any customer nor any farmer has given report as they were the victims in
C.C.No.251 of 2016.51J.M.F.C. Court, Dhone the present case on hand. However, he denies that A1 to A6 are not interested and they have not committed any misappropriation of amounts in bank. But he admitted that no case property and any relevant documents are seized during his tenure of investigation and denies that A1 to A6 are innocent and they have not committed any offence and only as per the instruction of the higher ups in order to fill up their lacaunas, a false case has been foisted against the accused.
31. However, the said investigating officer was examined as
P.W.11 and there was onus on the case of the prosecution on behalf of the state in order to bring the IO, who conducted and took up all the further investigation in the present case on hand i.e., L.W.13 who was the then Circle Inspector of Police and on account of transfer of P.W.11, who had taken up the charge therein, and L.W.13 came onto record and he has took up all the further transactions and further investigation and also received the entire case record and also all the relevant case documents in the present case on hand and laid the charge sheet. But, the irony in the present case on hand is that inspite of giving repeated opportunities and also sufficient time to the prosecution, neither the prosecution on behalf of the state was able to bring the said person and serve summons to the said IO i.e., L.W.13 and was able to bring L.W.13 on record to corroborate the version of the prosecution and also to get all the said documents marked which are found on record which remained unmarked at this stage of the trial process and even inspite of issuance of letter to the Superintendent of
Police, Kurnool as per the orders of this Honourable Court dt.17.2.2020 and giving more than sufficient time to bring the evidence of L.W.13 so as to get him on record and get the material documents marked in
C.C.No.251 of 2016.52J.M.F.C. Court, Dhone order to corroborate the case of the prosecution who was the then investigation officer who collected the bundle of documents in the present case on hand which are found on record was not able to produce by prosecution inspite of addressing a letter to SP, Kurnool but the same remained un-marked in the present case on hand.
Accordingly, as per the memo filed by the prosecution and the state the un-served copies of summons to L.W.13 are submitted along with the report of the V.R.O wherein the state failed to secure the presence of L.W.13 inspite of issuance of notice to the Superintendent of Police,
Kurnool and the state has utterly failed to serve the copies of summons to L.W.13 who was the Circle Inspector of Police, Dhone circle and who has took up all the major portion of investigation as well as collected all the documents found on record describing each fraudulent transaction which stands in corroboration to the case of the prosecution and failed to get them marked after giving due opportunity to the accused for cross examination therein.
32. Henceforth, as per the evidence which has been let in by the prosecution the entire case of the prosecution is based on the report given by the Chief Manager i.e., P.W.1 herein and who has given his report as under Ex.P.1 and accordingly there was a total tune of mis appropriation of funds committed to an amount of Rs.2,41,84,304.08
Ps (rupees two crores fourty one lakhs eighty four thousands three hundred and four and eight paisa) and after the complete process of trial as well as the evidence which has been let in by the prosecution and inspite of giving reminder letters to the state for service of summons wherein they have failed to serve the summons to L.W.13 and bring him on record, the prosecution was not able to corroborate
C.C.No.251 of 2016.53J.M.F.C. Court, Dhone their version by bringing the IO on record which is nothing but major flaw and same is fatal to the case of the prosecution.

C.C.No.251 of 2016.54J.M.F.C. Court, Dhone
34. Further the learned counsel for the accused/A1 to A6 has also filed a written arguments and they have vehemently submitted their arguments to a larger extent stating that all the witnesses turned hostile in the present case on hand and it is only the evidence of P.W.1 who is retired Chief Manager, who corroborated his version as per his report and even during his cross examination he was not able to corroborate about the presence of the remaining accused A3 to A6 herein and reported that P.W.1 admitted that as no documents were given by him and the prosecution has utterly failed so as to connect the link pertaining to the transactions as mentioned in the charge sheet and the reports to be filed by the IO therein. Further he has also relied on the ratio laid in the above mentioned judgments stating that the prosecution failed to prove the guilt of all the accused therein and none of the witnesses, who are the independent mediators in the present case on hand has supported the case of the prosecution and accordingly basing on the confession statements which could not be marked by the prosecution, the prosecution has utterly failed so as to bring home guilt of each of the accused for all the said offences and accordingly utterly failed to prove the ingredients of each of the said offences against the accused A1 to A6 and submits that they are entitled for benefit of doubt and they may be acquitted.
35. However, considering the evidence which has been let in by the prosecution and also going through the judgments submitted by the learned counsel for the accused herein and also the evidence which has been let on record, the point that has to be taken into consideration is that this is a case of the prosecution wherein the IO
L.W.13 whose evidence could not be brought by the prosecution in this
C.C.No.251 of 2016.55J.M.F.C. Court, Dhone case before the court remained uncorroborated with that of the evidence of P.W.1. Though there are bunch of documents containing original D.Ds and also other original transactions describing the various modes of transactions as mentioned under I to XCV mentioned in the charge sheet. The non examination of L.W.13 and non corroboration of the confessional statements either by any of the independent mediators who got examined as P.W.3 to P.W.9 herein except the IO i.e.,
P.W.7 makes the confessional statements as well as the panchanamas which are drafted basing on the confession of A1, A2 and A3, A6 herein stands un-corroborated as in view of section 25 to 27 of Indian
Evidence Act as even the IO who drafted those confession statements could not be brought on record and even the independent mediators, who said to have been present during the said confession statements could not corroborate the same. Further the only confession statement which could be marked is nothing but the confession statement of A1 in another crime of Sanjamala P.S wherein he was A1 which got marked by P.W.7 by the IO of Sanjamala Police Station but there is an admission made by the said IO with respect to non involvement of the remaining accused/A3 to A6 herein. Therefore, as per the evidence which has been let in, it is only the evidence of P.W.1 and which stands un- corroborated to the case of the prosecution and there is no supporting evidence on record or no other documentary evidence which could be marked on behalf of the prosecution in support of the evidence of P.W.1 as well as the evidence of the IO which is let in on record i.e., P.W.10 and P.W.11 and could not corroborate any incriminating material except the recording the 161 Cr.P.C statements of the P.W.1 and P.W.2. Even the Assistant General Manager, who was in the official capacity and got examined as P.W.2 and who assisted P.W.1 also did not support the
C.C.No.251 of 2016.56J.M.F.C. Court, Dhone version of the prosecution and he simply stated that he is not aware of any facts and circumstances of the case and he do not know any other facts and he came to know from the P.W.1 that A1 has misappropriated huge amount to a tune of Rs.two and half crores and this also throws out the testimony of P.W.2 therein. Therefore, putting in a nutshell the evidence on record except the evidence of P.W.1, there is no other stronger strengthening corroborative evidence on record to support the case of the prosecution. The evidence of independent mediators to confessional and seizure panchanamas who are examined as P.W.3 to
P.W.6 and P.W.8 had turned hostile. The evidence of P.W.1 who is IO stands un-corroborated by an independent mediator. The evidence of
P.W.10 i.e., IO is only to extent of registration of FIR and the IO who took up investigation initially P.W.11 reported during his examination that his successor i.e., L.W.13 had collected documents thought it is reported in charge sheet in para of page that L.W.12,. who is examined as P.W.1 had collected relevant documentary records. However, the IO i.e., L.W.13 who said to have collected the bunch of documents could not be produced before court and therefore, the prosecution miserably failed to bring independent, corroborative incriminating evidence for all said offences against each of the accused A1 to A6.
36. However as per the judgments which are referred above as the present case of the prosecution is that being the official capacity they were entrusted with the bank amounts they have committed the offence which is not an act under discharging of official duty, there is no necessity of any prior sanction for prosecuting the said accused.
Accordingly, the prosecution has utterly failed so as to bring home guilt of each of the accused/A1 to A6 and also their involvement in each of
C.C.No.251 of 2016.57J.M.F.C. Court, Dhone committing the crime as under sections 406, 409, 420, 120-B and 167 of IPC and thereby the accused/A1 to A6 are entitled for benefit of doubt and thereby they are acquitted.
37. In the result, the accused No.1 to No.6 are found not guilty for the offences punishable under Sections 409, 406, 420, 120-B and 167 of IPC and thereby they are acquitted u/s 248 (1) of Cr.P.C.
The bail bonds of all the accused shall be treated as bail bonds as under section 437 (A) of Cr.P.C to appear before the higher court as and when such Court requires in respect of any appeal or petition against the judgment of this Court and the same shall be in force for a period of six months from to day.
