Learned A.P.P. representing the State opposes the anticipatory bail application. 3. The allegation levelled against the petitioners is of operating the illegal sawmill. 4. Admitted fact is that the case arises out of a complaint. Cognizance has been taken in this case. Notice has been issued to the petitioners. 5. In a complaint case, there is no question of custodial interrogation. The only fact which the Court has to be assured of is whether the accused will face the trial or not or whether there is any chance of tampering with the evidence. 6. Since the cognizance has already been taken in this case, the petitioners are directed to appear before the Court concerned, in terms of the notice issued to them. 7. With the aforesaid observation, this Anticipatory Bail Application stands disposed of. (ANANDA SEN, J.) Prashant. Cp-3
