ASLAM RIAZ HUSSAIN, Actg. C.J.--The petitioner was granted interim bail by this Court on 4-9- 1984. The matter has now come up for confirmation of the interim bail.
2. It is submitted that on 11-11-1980 when the occurrence took place, there had in fact been a shortfall of Rs.5,000 and that the amount was made good by the petitioner within six days, that is, 17-11-1980. It is, therefore, urged that the petitioner was prima facie not guilty of the offence of misappropriation. It is further submitted that the trial of the case is likely to commence in the near future.
3. After hearing learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Additional Advocate-General who appeared on behalf of the A.-G. Punjab, we are inclined to confirm the interim bail. We accordingly convert this petition into appeal and allow it. The interim bail granted to the petitioner on 4-9-1984 is confirmed.
