The complainant identified him and also found that the note was counterfeit. He 2 Cri-A-5281-10.sxw caught the accused-applicant with the help of some persons and then took him to Jogeshwari Police Station along with the said counterfeit Note. Thus, according to the prosecution, the applicant had tried to distribute two counterfeit notes of Rs. 1,000/- each in the market. Therefore, case under Sections 489-B and 489-C as well as under Section 420 of IPC was registered. Investigation is completed and the charge-sheet is also filed. 3. The learned APP, on instructions from the Investigating Officer makes a statement that search of the house of the accused was taken, but no other counterfeit currency note was found. Thus, case is in respect of only two counterfeit notes which were allegedly given by the applicant to the complainant on two different dates. In view of the facts and circumstances, I find that it is a fit case to grant bail. 4. For the aforesaid reasons, the applicant be released on his executing P.R.Bond of Rs.15,000/- with one surety in the like amount with condition that he shall not temper with prosecution evidence and shall report at Jogeshwari Police Station on every Sunday between 10 a.m. to 12 noon till the end of the trial.
