RANCHI, India, March 8 -- Jharkhand High Court issued the following order on Feb. 6:
Heard Mr. Utpal Kant, learned counsel for the appellant and learned A.P.P.
This appeal is directed against the order dated 18.11.2025 passed by the learned Addl. Sessions Judge-IX, Giridih in B.P. No. 678/2025 in connection with Jamua P.S. Case No. 244/2025, whereby and whereunder, the prayer for bail of the appellant has been rejected.
It has been alleged that from the possession of the appellant, ninety fake currency notes of Rs. 500/- denominations and two mobile phones were recovered.
Submission has been advanced by learned counsel for the appellant that the entire prosecution case is concocted and the fake currency notes were planted by the Police. It has also been submitted that the appellant is in custody since 15.10.2025 and one of the co-accused Nitin Kumar has been granted bail by this Court in Cr. Appeal (DB) No. 105 of 2026.
Learned A.P.P. has opposed the prayer for bail of the appellant.
It appears that so far as the co-accused Nitin Kumar is concerned, no fake currency notes were recovered from his possession. However, so far as the present appellant is concerned, huge fake currency notes were recovered and considering the said fact, we are not inclined to interfere in the order dated 18.11.2025 passed by the learned Addl. Sessions Judge-IX, Giridih in B.P. No. 678/2025 in connection with Jamua P.S. Case No. 244/2025 and consequently, we dismiss this appeal at this stage.
This appeal stands dismissed.
