Applicant preferred an application for anticipatory bail before the Sessions Court which was rejected by order dated 24th February, 2020.

4.

Learned counsel for the applicant submitted that the applicant is not concerned with the alleged transaction. He is not beneficiary. He was not found at that time when the truck was intercepted. Chalan was recovered from the co-accused. Custodial interrogation of the applicant is not necessary.

5.

Learned APP submitted that the applicant has played vital role in this crime. He was acting in connivance with the co-accused. The applicant is in the same business. During interrogation of the arrested accused, involvement of the applicant has been disclosed. There is sufficient evidence against the applicant. His custodial interrogation is necessary.

6.

I have perused the FIR and the investigation papers. On perusal of the said documents, it is apparent that the applicant' s involvement has been disclosed. The applicant had allegedly ran away from the truck while it was intercepted. The interrogation of the accused and other material on record shows the complicity of the applicant. In view of the aforesaid circumstances, no case for grant of anticipatory bail is made out.

O R D E R

Anticipatory Bail Application No. 515 of 2020 stands rejected and disposed of accordingly.
