The alleged offence is under Section 489A of the Indian Penal Code. According to prosecution, the petitioner, along with other five accused, committed offence under Section 489A IPC. Petitioner's specific role is in bringing machine from Bangalore for counterfeiting currency notes. Learned Public Prosecutor submitted that the machine is not so far recovered and the petitioner's presence is required for investigation. This petition is, therefore, opposed by him. 3. Learned counsel for petitioner submitted that the petitioner is an auto rickshaw driver and he had only given a colour printer machine to one Murali at the request of one Vidhu, who had called him for a trip as an auto rickshaw driver. The petitioner is totally innocent of the allegations made. 4. On hearing both sides, I am satisfied that the petitioner is implicated as the fifth accused in the crime and he has a specific role, as per the prosecution case. His presence would be required for the purpose of recovery and custodial interrogation. Hence, this petition is dismissed. K.HEMA, JUDGE vgs.
