P.P appearing for the State on the other hand vehemently opposes the prayer for grant of anticipatory bail and submits that petitioner is hardened criminal. Hence, it is submitted that c in view of serious nature of allegation and the conspiracy involved, custodial interrogation of the petitioner is required during the investigation of the case to find out the other details of the case.
