Two persons, who were arrested for possessing fake Indian currency notes, have been sentenced to 10 years of imprisonment by a district court here.
Additional District and Sessions Judge Manoj Kumar sentenced Shalin and Sada Hassan to imprisonment and slapped a fine of Rs one lakh on each.
They were found guilty under section 489 C (possession of forged or counterfeit currency or bank notes) of IPC, public prosecutor Javed Ali said.
"The duo was arrested on November 29, 2005 with Rs 3 lakh worth of fake currency notes from a house at Kairana village in Shami district," he said, adding that during police interrogation they "accepted" to supplying fake notes.
The third accused in the case, Anwar, could not appear for the hearing as he is lodged in a jail in Bihar, he said.
