ORDER : The Court made the following order :- The petitioner/Accused No.2, who was arrested and remanded to judicial custody on 07.08.2023 for the offences punishable under Sections 489B, 489C, 420 of IPC, in Crime No.129 of 2023, on the file of the respondent Police, seeks bail. 2.The case of the prosecution is that on 07.08.2023, the accused persons went the 1/3

TASMAC shop, Manamelkudi and purchased Vorion Brandy bottles, which is worth about Rs.390/-. For which they paid Rs.500/- note. On suspecting it is a counterfeit currency, the defacto complainant, requested them to give alternative currency. At that time, the accused persons picked up quarrel with him. When he called the nearby people, the accused persons ran away from the place of occurrence. Hence, the complaint.

3.The learned counsel for the petitioner would contend that the petitioner is innocent and a false case has been foisted against him. A1 in this case has been released on bail by the trial Court. The petitioner is A2, who is similarly placed person. Hence, he seeks bail.

4.The learned Additional Public Prosecutor would submit that the A4 handed over 20 numbers of Rs.500/- currency notes to the A2 and A3. These persons circulated the same in that area. The bail application filed by the A3 was dismissed by this Court in Crl.O.P.(MD)No.17311 of 2023. There is no previous case pending against the petitioner. Hence, he opposes the grant of bail. 5.Heard both side and perused the materials available on record. 6.Considering the rival submissions on either side, considering the fact that the investigation is not completed, considering the gravity of offence and also considering the facts and circumstances of the case, I am declined to grant bail to the 2/3

petitioner, at this stage.

7.Accordingly, this criminal original petition stands dismissed. sd/- 29/09/2023 / TRUE COPY / /10/2023 Sub-Assistant Registrar (C.S.) Madurai Bench of Madras High Court, Madurai - 625 023.
