Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned HCGP. Learned HCGP has not filed any statement of objections opposing the petition. During the hearing, he has produced the copy of the charge-sheet filed in Cr.No.190/2017.
2. The petitioner is arrayed as accused No.3 in the said charge-sheet filed under sections 489B, 489C and 420 of Indian Penal Code. In column No.17 of the charge-sheet it is stated that, on 30.07.2017 at 5.30 p.m., accused No.2 gave two currency notes of Rs.100/- denomination for purchase of whisky from CW.1. Having come to know that the said currency notes were fake, the accused No.2 was caught and he was found to be in possession of other counterfeit currency notes. It is stated therein that the counterfeit currency notes were prepared and manufactured by accused No.1 and thereafter circulated by other accused.
3. There is no reference whatsoever with regard to the involvement of the present petitioner (accused No.3) in the preparation or manufacture of the counterfeit currency notes. However, it is mentioned in the charge-sheet that the counterfeit currency notes amounting to Rs.1,700/- were seized from the possession of the present petitioner. Except these allegations, there are no allegations attracting the offences under sections 489B, 489C and 420 of Indian Penal Code. As the investigation is completed, I do not find custody of the petitioner is required to be extended.
