Petitioner was arrested from the spot, on 22.10.2008. Learned Public Prosecutor submitted that on arrest of the petitioner and on questioning him, it was revealed that note was given by second accused. On search of the house of second accused, 4 counterfeit notes were seized. Second accused was arrested later. Hence, he has no objection in granting bail to petitioner, but stringent conditions may be imposed. On hearing both sides, I am satisfied that bail can be granted on conditions.
