Learned counsel for the State opposes the prayer for bail and submits that there is criminal antecedent of the present petitioner with same nature of offence that is using fake currency notes as genuine.

Upon query, learned counsel for the petitioner submits that as per his knowledge charge has not framed in this case In the present facts and circumstances of this case and the submissions made above, I am not inclined to grant bail at present.
