Heard Sri B. Bhagath Sain, learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner as r. r,ell as Sri D. Arun Kumar, learned Additional Public Prosecutor appearing on behalf of the respondent - State. I 4.
Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the petitioner was innocent, not arrayed as an accused, and had no connection with the alleged counterfeit currency and that the only reference to the petitioner came from the alleged custodial confession of accused No. 2, rvhich vvas inadmissible cILPj 0. 15446 ot 2025 under the Evidence Act and unsupported by. tty recovery or discovery. He further submitted that the petitic r er's correct name was Ravinder Reddy and not "Ravi Kumar leddy," that the police search yielded no incriminating mateli rl, and that none of the ingredients of Sections 179 and 180 ll \S, such as possession, circulation, or use of counterfeit cr-u rency, were made out against him. Therefore, he prayed t re Court to grant pre-arrest bail to the petitioner by allowing t ris Criminal Petition. 5.
On the other hand, learned Additional Publi: Prosecutor opposed the submissions made by the learned cc,r nsel for the petitioner stating that the allegations leveled against the petitioner are serious in nature. Further, the evestigation was not yet completed. At this stage, granting , f pre-arrest bail to the petitioner does not arise. Therefore, h, prayed the t l Court to dismiss the criminal petition. t t 6.

P. No. lSr+zl5 of 2025 \i \ accused Nos. 1 and 2. Though the lezLrned counsel for the petitioner contended that. there are no pa. rticulars Iinking this petitioner, namely Ravinder Reddy or Ravi Kumar Reddy, the police have already conducted a searched the house of the petitioner and nothing incriminating material was found.
However, the allegations attract Sections 179 and 180 of the BNS, which are serious in nature. Further, the investigation was not yet completed, therefore, at this stage, this Court is not inclined to grant pre-arrest bail to the petitioner and the same is liable to be dismissed. 7. Accordingly, this Criminal Petition is dismissed Miscellaneous applications, if any pending, shall stand closed. Sd/. P. PONAM KRISHNA ISTANT REGISTRAR //TRUE COPY// ECTION OFFICER a To 1 .
