The offences alleged against the petitioner have a direct bearing on the ecological balance and economic interest of this Country. Therefore, I am of the view that the petitioner is not entitled to plead for pre-arrest bail under Section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. He shall surrender before the Investigating Officer within two weeks from today and submit himself for interrogation. The Investigating Officer shall produce him before the learned Magistrate having jurisdiction on the date of surrender itself. Thereafter, the petitioner is free to move for regular bail
