IN THE HIGH COURT OF BOMBAY AT GOA CRIMINAL APPEAL NO. 28 OF 2010 STATE THROUGH P.I, PONDA POLICE STATION ... Appellant Versus DULAL @ BABU RAI, CURRENTLY IN SADA JAIL ... Respondent Mr. C. A. Ferreira, Public Prosecutor for the Appellant. Coram:- N. A. BRITTO, J. Date:- 6th September, 2010 P.C.: Heard. 2. This appeal was filed by the State for enhancement. The accused was tried and convicted under Section 489-C IPC, for having found in possession of Rs.1,39,000/- of counterfeit currency notes. The accused was sentenced to rigorous imprisonment of two years. The punishment provided for as offence under Section 489-C could extend to seven years or fine or with both. The learned Assistant Sessions Judge at the time of awarding two years of rigorous imprisonment did take a note of the fact that offences such as these were on the increase. However, in the meantime, the accused underwent the sentence of two years of rigorous imprisonment imposed upon him and has been released from jail. The accused is stated to be from West Bengal and as submitted on behalf of the State, there are no immediate prospects of securing his presence in the near future. 3. Considering the facts of the case and the fact that the accused has already undergone the sentence imposed upon him, this is not a fit case for interference for enhancement of sentence. The appeal, therefore, is accordingly disposed of. N. A. BRITTO, J. NH
