Later on after verifying his allegation were found true as customer didn't came to branch for cash payment but his account was debited and payment was given to third party i.e middleman. And i was cashier that time the vouchers was himself passed & Filled by BM so in good faith i gave cash to him lateron it was found that he further instead of making payment to third customer gave cash to third party. Now police is asking me that whom had you given cash insident is one year old no cctv footages available front of the vouchers is signed by customer himself and BM BUT in few vouchers back is blank and otherwise signed by third party.
Ask a question and receive multiple answers in one hour.
Lawyers are available now to answer your questions.
yes so the liability can fall on you so its better to keep defence real and strong that on instruction of BM you issued to the customer himself on verification of ID further for back side of voucher you will need a defence as to how it was signed by third party.
Also departmental inquiry can be setup against you too,
further are you just called for witness or allegations are against you??
kindly specify you question you have narrated the facts but what advise do you need has to be specified.
If vouchers were blank you had no business to make payments
You can only say that since BM had signed the vouchers payments were made by you
You needed identity proof of person to whom cash was paid
You have to contest no guilty however you have not applied your due care on the payment based on the BM instructions normal course of authorization.
You have to prove your innocence on the grounds that all the vouches were signed by the BM and you had no over riding authority to dishonour the authorisation.
1. If the FIR is registered and you have been made co accused person then your first step is to apply for bail.
2. Thereafter you will have to face trial on merit.
3. Since the onus of proof primarily lies in prosecution to prove offence beyond reasonable doubt you need not prove your innocence.
4. If your name is not appearing on FIR then you have nothing to worry.
Hi, your stand should be , that the cash was given to the customers after signed the vouchers .. If there is no CCTV footage , then you shuould stand by your stand and depose that it was Customer who collected cash from you each time
If the police is enquiring you about the transactions details, you may tell them the facts.
If you are not involved in this scam then what is your worry about it?
No doubt, even if it was your own manager, you cannot flout the rules to your convenience.
To be on the safer side, you may give the statement about all the incidents that have happened and the facts that are in your knowledge.
In the name of saving your manager, do not get into trouble.
You should say the truth.
He is senior to u, so doubting his integrity was null.
So, all vouchers were cleared by him on the pretext that he will give to customer.
You can give your statement about the same in court or to Police. If you haven't done anything wrong dont worry. Try to get a anticipatory bail to secure from arrest.
