Shandiliya, learned counsel for the applicant and Sri Amit Bhatt, learned Addl. GA for the State and also perused the record. In brief, the prosecution story is that on 29.12.2008 at 01:15 PM three unknown persons armed with pistols entered at Punjab National Bank, Kishanpur, Pauri Garhwal and committed robbery of Rs.6,79,792/-.

During the course of investigation, the applicant-accused was arrested by the Police on 9.1.2009 and from his possession Rs.50,600/- was recovered on which slips and stamp of Punjab National Bank were affixed and signatures of the Bank Official were also found on the currency. Learned brief holder for the State has stated that Rs.50,600/- was recovered from the possession of the applicant-accused for which he has given no explanation. After considering all the facts and circumstances; on hearing learned counsel for the parties; on perusal of the contents of the F.I.R. and especially considering the fact that slips and stamp of the bank and signatures of the bank official were found on the currency recovered from the possession of the applicant-accused, I am of the view that it is not a fit case for bail. The bail application is rejected accordingly. (Urgency Application No.3471/2009 stands disposed of accordingly). (Dharam Veer, J.) 23.12.2009 RG
