3. The FIR in connection with which the petitioner was arrested on 01.09.2026, was lodged by the police personnel of Laluk Police Station, stating inter alia that, on an information that huge quantity of Indian Currency notes were kept in the residence of the petitioner, the informant along with the team had raided the house of the petitioner and found four bundles of 500 denomination currency note suspected to be fake Indian Currency note.
4. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has been inside the jail for the last 42 days and that the currency notes were also recovered and as such, he has prayed for bail.
5. On the other hand, Mr. R. J. Baruah, the learned APP for the State, on perusal of the Case Diary submits that the independent witnesses have stated that the fake Indian currency notes were recovered from the house of the petitioner and he also submits that seizure list also shows that it was found from his residence.
6. Upon consideration of the submissions made by the learned counsels for the parties, more so in view of the fact that, the notes were found from the house of the petitioner but his involvement in circulating, trafficking or manufacturing the said currency notes are not discernable from the materials and also due to the fact that the petitioner has been inside the jail for a considerable period of time, this court enlarges the petitioner on bail, on furnishing of a bail bond of Rs. 20, 000/-(Rupees Twenty Thousand) with one local surety of the like amount to the satisfaction of the CJM, Lakhimpur, North Lakhimpur under the following conditions:
