CORAM: SMT.V.K.TAHILRAMANI,J. DATE : AUGUST 26, 2008 DATE : AUGUST 26, 2008 DATE : AUGUST 26, 2008 P.C. P.C. P.C. 1. Heard the learned advocate for the applicant and the learned A.P.P. for the State. 2. The applicant is seeking bail in CR No.99 of 2007 of Miraj City Police Station, Dist.Sangli. The said case is mainly under Sections 489-A and 489-C of IPC. 3. The prosecution case is that the applicant was found in possession of large number of counterfeit currency notes. The applicant was found in possession of 470 fake currency notes of Rs.500/- each and 1400 fake notes of Rs.100/- each. Thus, the applicant was found in possession of counterfeit notes of Rs.3.75 lakhs. [-2-] 4. The learned advocate for the applicant submitted that as far as the applicant is concerned, only Section 489(C) of IPC would be attracted, hence, the applicant maybe released on bail. The learned APP has pointed out that the applicant is involved not only in the present case but prior to this offence, the applicant was also involved in two other cases of similar nature. The said cases are: CR No.50 of 2003 under Sections 489A, B, C and D of IPC of Miraj Gramin Police Station and CR No.104 of 2007 under Sections 489A, B, C r.w. 34 of IPC of Dharwad Police Station, Karnataka State. The applicant was granted bail in those cases. It is seen that the applicant has misused the liberty granted to him in those cases as after he was released on bail in those cases, he has been involved in the present offence. 5. Looking to the above facts, I do not think that this is a fit case to grant bail. Application is rejected. Trial is expedited. Trial to be concluded as far as possible by 5.3.2009.
