IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.46345 of 2008 AJAY KUMAR Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2. 19.12.2008 Heard Mr. Jay Kumar, learned counsel for the petitioner and Mr. Dashrath Mehta, learned A.P.P. The police captured the petitioner and some others at a particular place in the city of Patna and on search of their respective persons the police claims finding out some currency notes which, according to them, are counterfeit. As regards this petitioner, he was found in possession of 98 such currency notes in the denomination of Rs.50,000/-, the total amount being Rs.4,900/-. The petitioner has taken a plea that it could not be said with certainty that the notes could be counterfeit as there is no report in that behalf. It is next contended that the petitioner was handed over the bundle of notes by one Anil Rai in Vaishali for doing such job for him and he did not know that those could be fake and counterfeit. The third contention is that the petitioner was a student and he passed out matriculation and was studying Intermediate in a college. As may appear from the contention of the petitioner that there was no knowledge of having received the money appears doubtful inasmuch as if the petitioner were really a student, he should not have agreed to do that job. So far as genuineness of the currencies are concerned, there appears a prima facie case in view of the fact - 2 - that it was not only the petitioner who was found in possession of such notes rather there were others also accompanied him in the business of trafficking fake currency notes and in that view the petition is dismissed. sudip ( Dharnidhar Jha,J )
