Warrant under sections 420 and 465
Advice
I was a junior lady officer in a Bank in Gujarat 34 years back and was posted in that branch for 6 years, mainly in charge of deposit and general sections . The branch was a newly opened branch which grew over the years while more senior officers were inducted. Mainly the Senior manager , deputy manager and senior officers were handling loan section.
Loans to a group of share brockers , proposed by branch, with limits beyond sanctioning power of branch were sanctioned by regional office and head office, while the loans were serviced in the branch.
After four or five years it was discovered that brokers were depositing many forged shares in the bank for primary security for the cash credit limit leading to fraud running into crores . Hence Bank lodged FIR s against the brokers. Meanwhile I was transferred to another branch in a different state. Everyone including me was called by Gujrat police for recording statement 28years ago. And I heard that some arrests were made at that time, which included one bank manager also We were officially not informed of any details
After that I worked in different branches of the same bank in different states and finally resigned eighteen years ago on health grounds.
Now after 28years I have been told by one of my ex colleagues that he and most of others, who worked in that branch at different levels right from bankman up , at different times had been served summons personally or by whatsapp to appear in different magistrate's court as prosecution witness. It seems multiple cases are being heard in different courts in Gujrat simultaneously. Many of them appeared in the court and referred back to the previous statement given 28 years ago. I was not served any summon .
I came to know today that my ex colleagues who attended and also those who did not get any summon have now been served bailable arrest warrants under sections 420 and 465.
I am now apprehensive that I may also be served as my ex colleagues received warrants out of nowhere after so many years. I am feeling so traumatized and helpless. Please help me.
I am a senior citizen, staying in a different state with chronic health issue . Also looking after my ailing spouse and mother. It is really not feasible for me to make interstate journeys . Please advise what should I do under the circumstances in case I am served summons or warrant.
