The Superintendent of Police, Jalgaon .. Respondents ... Mr. C.P. Sengaonkar, Advocate for the Applicant Mr. P.P. More, APP for the respondent-State ... CORAM : V.R. KINGAONKAR, J. DATED : 15TH NOVEMBER, 2010 ORAL ORDER:- 1. The Application is for anticipatory bail. Heard learned Advocate and learned APP. Ad-interim directions have been issued and the question is whether the same shall be confirmed or de-clamped. The learned APP would submit that he has not received the investigation papers. 2. The applicant is said to be Cashier attached to the JDCC Bank. It appears that a counterfeit (2) CRI.APP. 3559.2010 currency note of Rs.500/- denomination was replaced by him as desired by customer, namely, Roshan who had brought a bundle of currency note to the tune of Rs.50,000/-. The alleged incident occurred on 29.6.2010. There appears no prima facie evidence to say that the present applicant was acting in connivance with the said customer by name Roshan or any other person for the purpose of circulating counterfeit currency note. Obviously, his arrest is likely to humiliate him and probably will shatter his family life. His arrest is not immediately required for any effective investigation in absence of any tangible material to hold that he has links with the gang which had operated and indulged in the demonstration/use of the counterfeit currency note. 3. In view of the foregoing reasons, Application is granted in terms of the ad-interim order dated 8.9.2010. Application disposed of accordingly. Sd/- [V. R. KINGAONKAR, J.] arp
