Versus

• State Of Chhattisgarh Through- P.S. Navagarh, District- JanjgirChampa, Chhattisgarh., District : Janjgir-Champa, Chhattisgarh ---- Non-applicant For Applicant - Mr. Ravindra Sharma, Advocate. For Non-applicant/State - Ms. M.Asha, Panel Lawyer. Hon'ble Shri Justice Rajendra Chandra Singh Samant Order on Board 19-06-2018 1.

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 28-01-2018 in connection with Crime No.16/2018 registered at P.S.

Navagarh, District- Janjgir-Champa, Chhattisgarh for the offence under Section 489(B) & (C) of the IPC. 2.

It is submitted on behalf of the applicant that the applicant has been falsely implicated in this case. The applicant is in jail since 28-01-2018. No offence under Section 489(B) of the IPC is made out against this applicant and the offence registered under Section 489(C) of the IPC against this applicant is bailable, hence, it is prayed that the applicant may be released on bail. 3.

Learned counsel for the State/non-applicant opposes the application submitting that counterfeit currency notes of Rs.1300/- have been seized from the possession of this applicant, hence, he is not entitled for grant of bail. 4.

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

The allegation against this applicant is this that he along with coaccused person was having counterfeit currency notes. On receiving such

-2information, the police personnel of P.S. Navagarh apprehended this applicant and at his instance the counterfeit currency notes were seized from his possession.

6.

On perusal of contents of the case diary and looking to nature of the allegation, it appears that it constitutes mainly the offence under Section 489(C) of the IPC, which is bailable offence, hence, I am of this view that this applicant should be granted regular bail during the pendency of trial against him.

7.

Consequently, this application filed under Section 439 of the Cr.P.C. by the applicant is hereby allowed. It is directed that the applicant shall be released on bail on his furnishing a personal bond in the sum of Rs.25,000/- with one local surety in the like sum to the satisfaction of the concerned Court, for his appearance as and when directed.
