#Counterblast FIR

Bombay High Court grants anticipatory bail, holding that an FIR lodged as a counterblast to prior litigation and absence of prima facie evidence of misappropriation undermine the prosecution's case. The ruling reinforces that bail cannot be denied merely on allegations without material proof, especially when the account in question was closed before the accused's resignation.

Bombay High Court grants anticipatory bail where the FIR was registered 11 months after the alleged incident and appears to be a counterblast to the applicant's prior complaints. The ruling reinforces that personal liberty prevails absent prima facie evidence of wrongdoing, even in financial document manipulation cases under BNS.
