Mr. Shiv Chandra Prasad Mr. Nikhil Kumar Gupta ... for the petitioner.

Mr. Tapandeb Nandy Mr. Antarikhya Basu ...for the State.

Petitioner seeks anticipatory bail.

Learned Advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that the petitioner was falsely implicated.

Learned Advocate appearing fore the State draws the attention of the Court to the materials in the case diary. He submits that there are sufficient materials in the case diary to suggest that the petitioner is one of the main persons involved in the illegal sand mining.

Considering the gravity of the offence and the involvement of the petitioner therein, the necessity of custodial interrogation of the petitioner cannot be discounted. In such circumstances, we are unable to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, the prayer for anticipatory bail of the

petitioner is rejected.

C.R.M. (A) 1149 of 2022 is dismissed.
