Secretary of BRC (Block Resource Centre), has misappropriated government fund amounting to Rs.52,76,000/- by transferring the same to her private account.
4. The prayer of the accused applicant for bail was earlier rejected on 07.09.2026 in Bail Appln. No.2243/2026 by this court.
5. The case diary in the instant case has been received and the same is perused.
6. The learned counsel appearing for the accused applicant submits that the accused applicant was arrested on 31.07.2026 and since then for the last 69 days, she is behind the bars. He submits that the money has been transferred to her private account only on the instruction of the Block Project Manager. He submits that taking into account of the fact that the accused applicant is a lady and she is behind bars for the last 69 days and all required documents have already been seized by the police, she should be allowed to go on bail.

9. Taking into account the entire facts of the case and also the fact that the accused applicant is behind bars for the last 69 days, this Court finds it deem fit to grant a relief to the accused applicant at this stage.
10. Accordingly, it is directed that the accused applicant should be released forthwith from jail on furnishing a bail bond of Rs.50,000/- with a surety of like nature to the satisfaction of the learned SDJM, North Salmara at Abhayapuri, subject to the condition that the accused applicant shall co-operate with the investigation and make herself available as and when called for and the accused applicant shall not hamper or tamper with the investigation in any manner.
