IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.20467 of 2010 ASGAR ALI ANSARI @ ASGAR HAQUE ANSARI Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 3 27.9.2010 Heard counsel for the petitioner and the State. The petitioner is an accused in a case under sections 489-A, 489-B and 489-C of the Penal Code on the report of one Shivendra Satyarthi, Intelligence Officer, D.R.I.

Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the seized motor cycle does not belong to the petitioner. He further submits that the petitioner has been proceeded under the Customs Act which is also a penal provision and as such continuance of two parallel proceeding for the same offence would be bad in law. He further submits that no offence under sections 489A and 489B is made out and at best it could be a case under section 489C which is a bailable offence. The petitioner is in custody since 2.5.2009. Counsel for the State opposes the prayer for bail and submits that as per the allegation the petitioner has parked the seized motor cycle near the repairing shop from which a sum of Rs.4.50 lakh of fake currency was recovered. The petitioner is 2 KHAN also being proceeded under the Customs Act. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner for the present.
