Can I be punished after returning misused company funds?
I was working in a company and used company funds for personal purposes. I left the company a few weeks ago. Out of guilt and fear, I returned the amount I had taken to the company's bank account. Can I still be prosecuted under criminal law? If yes, what legal liabilities could I face?

Even after returning the money, the company can still file a criminal case under charges like criminal breach of trust or misappropriation. You can seek anticipatory bail if worried. Returning the money can help reduce punishment, but doesn’t automatically cancel legal liability. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
