CRL OP(MD). No.7589 of 2023 by the petitioner, they transported so many blue metal stones from the quarry. Therefore, the petitioner is the master mind behind the entire crime and he only fabricated the Government document with seal and handed over to A2 and A3 to transport blue metal stones. Therefore, the custodial interrogation of the petitioner is very much required in this case. Hence, this Court is not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner.

5.Accordingly, this petition is dismissed.
