The petitioner and other accused persons were found printing fake non-judicial stamps. Huge quantity of non-judicial stamps, machines etc. were recovered.

Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that Ranjeet Kumar who is the kingpin of the offence was not arrested on the spot. The petitioner is a labourer. Ranjeet Kumar had already been enlarged on bail by the learned court below.
