I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the case file. According to the prosecution version, counterfeit currency notes of denominations of Rs.1,000/-, Rs.500/-, Rs.100/- and Rs.50/- worth Rs.18.500/- in all were recovered from the petitioner. During investigation, further counterfeit currency notes worth Rs.52,500/- were also recovered Crl. Misc. No. M-17896 of 2009 2 from the petitioner along with scanner and other equipment for preparation of said counterfeit currency notes. Keeping in view the serious allegations against the petitioner and the menace of counterfeit currency notes assuming alarming proportions these days tending to destroy the economy of the country, I do not find it to be a fit case to grant concession of bail to the petitioner.
