For Respondent/State:

Mr. Vivek Singhal, Panel Lawyer.

Hon'ble Shri Justice Sanjay K. Agrawal Order on Board /0 2 /201 (1) The accused/applicant has moved this bail application under Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure for releasing him on regular bail during trial in connection with Crime No. 274/2014 registered at Police Station Dongargarh, District Rajnandgaon for the offences under Sections 489-A, 489-B, 489C & 489-D/34 of Indian Penal Code. (2) Case of the prosecution, in brief, is that applicant was found in possession of fake currency notes amounting to Rs. 15,300/- and thereby committed the aforesaid offences. (3) Counsel for the applicant submits that applicant has been falsely implicated in the offence in question as he has not committed any offence. He further submits that the similarly situated co-accused person Chandra Sekhar has already been

released on bail by the coordinate Bench of this Court in M.Cr.C. No. 3863/2015 decided on 30.10.2015 and, therefore, the applicant may also be released on bail on the ground of parity. (4) On the other hand, counsel for the State opposes the bail application.

(5) Taking into consideration the facts & circumstances of the case; further considering the recovery of fake currency notes from the applicant; and the said offence is offence against the economy of the country; and the fact that case of the present applicant is distinguishable to the other co-accused person, who has been granted bail , I am not inclined to release the applicant on bail. Thus, the bail application is rejected. Certified copy, as per rules.
