ORDER
This petition is for anticipatory bail.
2. The alleged offence is under Section 489 A of IPC.
According to prosecution, accused No.1 to 3 were arrested on
getting secret information that they were dealing with fake
currency notes. The contraband currency notes were seized from
the possession of accused No.1 and 2. On investigation it was
revealed that petitioner had supplied the same to first accused
and therefore he was also implicated as fourth accused.
3. Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that
petitioner is not involved in the offence. He is innocent of the
allegations made. He is prepared to co-operate with
investigation.
4. Learned Public Prosecutor submitted that as per the
materials in the Case Diary, petitioner is the person who had
supplied the fake currency notes. The incident happened as early
as on 15/03/2010, but petitioner was not available for
investigation.
5. On hearing both sides and on considering the serious
nature of the allegations made against petitioner, I am satisfied
that interrogation of petitioner is required for the purpose of an
B.A No.1904 OF 2010 2
effective investigation in a case of this nature. Petitioner is bound
to surrender before the Investigating Officer and co-operate with
investigation. I am not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the
petitioner.
Petition is dismissed.
