He had received the money from Coimbatore as the sale consideration for fire wood. He is running business in fire wood. The petitioner is prepared to abide by any condition and co-operate with the investigation and point out the person from whom he collected the amount. 4. This petition is opposed.

The other persons who are involved in the crime have to be traced out. If at this stage the petitioner is granted bail, it will adversely affect the investigation.
