Saraogi for the Applicants. Mr.Rajesh More, APP for the State. CORAM : V.M. KANADE, J. CORAM : V.M. KANADE, J. CORAM : V.M. KANADE, J. DATED : JANUARY 16, 2009 DATED : JANUARY 16, 2009 DATED : JANUARY 16, 2009 P.C. :- P.C. :- P.C. :- 1. Heard Counsel for the applicants and APP for the State. 2. The applicants are arrested in connection with an offence punishable under Section 489(B) and (C) of the IPC. It is alleged that the applicant no.1 had given two notes of Rs.500/- each to different shopkeepers and had obtained change from the first shopkeeper. When she went to the second shopkeeper, the first shopkeeper alerted him and called the police. It transpired that both Rs.500/- notes were counterfeit notes. When a raid was conducted and her house was searched, there were three notes of Rs.1000/- each out - 2 - of which two notes were counterfeit notes. Charge-sheet has already been filed. In view of the statements of the witnesses, at this stage, in my view, no case is made out for grant of bail. Secondly, the applicants do not have a fixed place of residence. The police have verified the address which is given by the applicants and it was found that the applicants are not residing at that address. Therefore, it is not possible to grant bail to the applicants. However, in view of the facts and circumstances of the case, the trial court is directed to decide the Sessions case within three months from today. If the trial is not over by that time, liberty is granted to the applicants to apply for bail afresh. 3. The application is rejected. (V.M. KANADE, J.) (V.M. KANADE, J.) (V.M. KANADE, J.)
