According to prosecution, A1 to A3 were found in possession of 26 counterfeit currency-notes of Rs.100/- denomination on 28.3.2007. from their house. Subsequently, 55 counterfeit currency-notes of Rs.100/- denomination were also recovered from their house. Thereafter, on investigation, it was revealed that currency notes were supplied to them by A4. These fake currency notes were supplied to the 4th accused by 5th accused. It is understood that one Suresh is also involved but he could not be arrested so far. 3. Petitioner is the 5th accused in the crime. He is in custody since 24.11.2008 i.e. for the past 79 days. Learned Public Prosecutor submitted that A1 to A4 are released on bail and hence he has no objection in granting bail to petitioner on stringent conditions. 4. On hearing both sides, I am satisfied that bail [B.A.No.619/09] 2 can be granted to petitioner on conditions. Hence, the following order is passed: i) Petitioner shall be released on bail on his executing bond for Rs.25,000/- with two solvent sureties each for the like sum to the satisfaction of the Magistrate Court concerned. ii) Petitioner shall report before the investigating officer on every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. until further orders. iii) Petitioner shall not leave the limits of the police station, within which the crime is registered, except with previous permission of the learned Magistrate. iv) Petitioner shall not influence or intimidate any witness or tamper with evidence or commit any offence while on bail and, in case of breach of this condition, bail is liable to be cancelled.
