4. The learned Government Advocate(Crl.Side) opposed the bail petition on the ground that the investigation is not yet completed. He would further submit that one previous case of similar nature is pending against the petitioner.

5. It is seen that the petitioner is illegally removing sand from the Kangeyanatham Kanmai destroying the very feature of the kanmai and causing loss and damage to the kanmai which is used by lot of public. This offence of illegal mining is not only an offence against any particular individual, but against the Society at large. It affects not only the present population, but the posterity as well. In this view of the same, this Court is not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner.

6. Hence the petition stands dismissed.
