Suspecting that the currency notes were counterfeit currency notes, the matter was informed to the police. Maggi Paulose stated that she borrowed the amount from her sister. Sister of Maggi B.A.No.9114 OF 2011 2 Paulose stated that she got the currency notes from the accused. On a search in the house of the petitioner, the police could seize 8 counterfeit currency notes of the denomination of `500/-. The petitioner was arrested on 27.10.2011. 4.The C.B.C.I.D has taken over the investigation, as per the order dated 2.9.2011. The investigation is going on. The source of currency notes is to be traced out. 5. As per the order dated 16th November, 2011, interim bail was granted to the petitioner till 22.11.2011, to enable the petitioner to solemnize the marriage of his daughter. Before the expiry of interim bail, the petitioner reported before the Superintendent of Sub Jail, Kollam. The petitioner continues to be in judicial custody now. 6. If the petitioner is released on bail, it would adversely affect the proper and smooth investigation of the case. The offence alleged against the petitioner is very serious in nature. If the petitioner is released on bail, it is most likely that he would influence and intimidate to the witnesses and tamper B.A.No.9114 OF 2011 3 with evidence. For the aforesaid reasons, the Bail Application is dismissed. K.T.SANKARAN, JUDGE cms
