DATED : 25-02-2016 Heard Shri A.S. Mardikar, learned Senior Advocate assisted by Shri S.G. Joshi, Advocate for the applicant and Shri A.K. Bangadkar, learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the non-applicant.

The applicant is arrested in Crime No.109/2015 registered by the non-applicant against four persons (including the applicant) for the offences punishable under Section 489-A, 489-B and 489-C read with Section 34 of the Indian Penal Code. The allegations against the applicant are that co-accused Nos.2, 3 and 4 are printing fake notes and the applicant is circulating the same. The charge-sheet is filed. The applicant has stated that there are no criminal antecedents and this is not controverted by the non-applicant. The non-applicant has not been able to show that custody of the applicant is required for further investigation. Hence, in my view, the applicant is entitled to be released on bail.

2 ba926.15 3.

i) The applicant having been arrested in Crime No.109/2015 registered by the non-applicant, he be released on bail, on furnishing P.R.
