Prodip Mandal v. State Of West Bengal

25.09.2020 SL No.28 AP CRM 7251 of 2020 With IA No: CRAN 1 of 2020 (Through Video Conference) In Re: - An application for bail under Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure in connection with Mothabari P.S. Case No.477 of 2019 dated 13.11.2019 under Sections 489B/489C/120B of the Indian Penal Code.

And In the matter of: Prodip Mandal ....Petitioner.

Ms. Sonali Das ...for the Petitioner.

Mr. Binay Panda, Ms. Puspita Saha ...for the State.

Petitioner undertakes to affirm and stamp the petition/application as per Rules within one month of resumption of normal functioning of the Court. Subject to such undertaking, the application is taken up for hearing through video conference. Accordingly, the application being IA No: CRAN 1 of 2020 is disposed of.

Having considered the materials on record disclosing prima facie involvement of the petitioner in dealing in a large volume of Fake Indian Currency Notes (FICNs) and in view of the gravity of the offence, we are of the opinion this is not a fit case to grant bail to the petitioner at this stage.

The application for bail is, thus, rejected.
