2 /2 ABA-1628-15 earlier, in pursuance of the said order, the applicant has attended the Investigating Officer. As the applicant is the licensor and the sand in question has been excavated under the lawful authority given to the applicant, I find no reason for the custodial interrogation of the applicant by the police.

2) In view of the above, the interim relief granted to the applicant by order dated 16.12.2015 is hereby confirmed.

3) Application is allowed in the aforesaid terms. (A.S. GADKARI, J.)
