DATE : 6 th APRIL , 2009 Heard Shri Morande, Advocate for applicant and Shri Mandpe,A.P.P. for state. This is an application under section 439 of Cr.P.C. for grant of bail. Applicant accused is arrested for offence under section 389(b)(c) of the I.P.C. of P.S. Chamorshi in Crime No. 128/2008. Applicant is stated to have circulated 14 fake currency notes of Rs.100/-. It is his case that he has received those notes from one Laxman who is also accused, and who is not released on bail. According to the learned counsel the other two accused – Shankar Shegam and Aruna Krishna and one another have been released on bail by the trial court. The case has been stated to be committed to the court of sessions. Learned Sessions Judge has rejected the bail application of the applicant, observing that – it seems that there is racket which is involved in circulating fake currency notes in India so also to hamper the economic position of the state. In my view the person who has committed such an offence is not entitled in any way for leniency because such persons are injurious to the society at large.” The said order appears to have been passed some time in November 2008. It appears that the trial is likely to be held in near future. Hence this application is rejected. However, learned Additional Sessions Judge is directed to expedite the disposal of the trial. Liberty is granted to the applicant to move for bail, if the trial is not completed within a period of 4 months from today. Application stands disposed of. JUDGE SMP
