Heard on the application filed under Section 439 of the Cr.P.C. This is first bail application before this Court filed by the applicant for grant of regular bail. The applicant has been arrested on 08-11-2017 in connection with Crime No.483/2017 registered at P.S. Surajpur, District Surajpur, Chhattisgarh for the offence under Section 489(A), 489(B) and 489(C) of the IPC. 2.

It is submitted on behalf of the applicant that the applicant has been falsely implicated in this case. He is in jail since 08-11-2017. Charge sheet has been filed after completion of the investigation and there is no requirement of further detention of the applicant in jail for the purposes of investigation and the trial. The trial against the applicant is likely to take some time. Hence, it is prayed that the applicant may be released on bail. 3.

Learned counsel for the State/non-applicant opposes the application and submits that the applicant is not entitled for grant of bail. 4.

Heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the case diary. 5.

On receiving a confidential information police personnel of Police Station Surajpur conducted raid in the house of this applicant on 08-11-2017 and found

-2in his possession 11 numbers of fake/counterfeit currency notes of denomination of Rs.100/-, further one computer, scanner and printer were also recovered and seized which were allegedly used for printing the counterfeit currency notes. Hence, this case.

6.

Considered on the submissions made and contents of the case diary. The case is presently before the trial Court and the applicant is local resident of District Surajpur. Hence, for these reasons, I am of this view that the applicant should be released on bail during pendency of the trial against him. 7.

Consequently, this application filed by the applicant under Section 439 of the Cr.P.C. for grant of regular bail is hereby allowed.
