Versus

State Of Chhattisgarh, Through- P.S. Nawagarh, District- Janjgir-Champa, Chhattisgarh.

---- Respondent For Applicant : Mr. Ravindra Sharma, Advocate For State/respondent : Mrs. Smita Ghai, Panel Lawyer Hon'ble Shri Justice Rajendra Chandra Singh Samant Order On Board 17/07/2018 1.

This is the first bail application filed under Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 for grant of regular bail to the applicant, who has been arrested in connection with Crime No.16/2018, registered at Police Station - Navagarh, District - Janjgir-Champa (C.G.), for the offence punishable under Section 489 (B) & (C) of the Indian Penal Code.

2.

It is submitted by the learned counsel for the applicant that the applicant has been falsely implicated in this case. Applicant is in jail since 28.01.2018. According to the material present in the case diary, no case is made out under Section 489 (B) of the I.P.C. and Section 489 (C) is a bailable offence. Hence, it is prayed that the applicant may be enlarged on bail.

3.

On the other hand, learned counsel for the State opposes the bail application and the submission made in this respect. 4.

I have heard the learned counsel for both the parties and perused the case diary.

5.

Four counterfeit currency notes of Rs.500/- and Rs.100/- of total value Rs.2400/- have been seized from the possession of this applicant. Hence, this case.

6.

Considered on the submissions made and the contents of the case diary. As there appears to be no allegation that this applicant was manufacturer of such counterfeit notices or was trying to make use of the same, hence, the offence i.e. made out under Section 489(C), which is bailable offence, hence for this reason, this Court is of the opinion that present is a fit case, in which, the applicant should be enlarged on regular bail.

7.

Accordingly, the bail application filed under Section 439 of the Cr.P.C. is allowed.

8.

It is directed that applicant shall be released on bail on his furnishing a personal bond in the sum of Rs.25,000/- with one surety in the like sum to the satisfaction of the concerned trial Court, for his appearance as and when directed.

Certified copy as per rules.
