Heard learned counsels for the parties.

Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is in custody for more than a year. Charge sheet has been submitted. Search/seizure is complete. Further detention of the petitioner is not required. The petitioner prays for bail.

Learned counsel for the State produces the Case Diary and opposes the prayer.

It appears that 176 low quality currency notes were recovered from the possession of the petitioner. The notes have seized. Investigation has culminated in submission of charge sheet. Further detention of the petitioner is not required for the purpose of custodial interrogation.

Accordingly, the prayer for bail is allowed. The petitioner be released on bail upon furnishing bond of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand only), with two sureties of like amount each, one of whom must be local, to the satisfaction of the learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Malda subject to condition that he shall remain within the jurisdiction of Baishnabnagar Police Station and shall furnish the address where he shall henceforth reside before the Investigating Officer, the learned trial Court and the Officer-in-Charge of the Baishnabnagar Police Station. The petitioner shall enter the jurisdiction of Englishbazar Police Station only for the purpose of appearing before the learned trial Court on every date fixed by the Court. He shall not intimidate witnesses or tamper with evidence in any manner whatsoever.

In the event the petitioner fails to comply with any of the conditions as referred to above, the learned trial Court shall be at liberty to cancel his bail in accordance with law without further reference to this Court.

The application for bail is, thus, disposed of. Case Diary be returned.

Urgent certified website copy of this order, if applied for, be supplied to the parties upon compliance with all requisite formalities.
