PANJIM: The owner of HL Nathurmal & Co, Haresh Melwani, on Friday filed an anticipatory bail application in the District & Sessions Court fearing arrest in the ongoing probe into the illegal mining case.
The Special Investigation Team (SIT) has summoned the company’s director to appear at 11am on Friday. Sources said Melwani instead moved the court seeking anticipatory bail. The matter has been fixed for hearing on June 12 and SIT has been asked to submit its reply. On Thursday, the owner of G N Agarwal Mining Pvt Ltd had failed to appear before the investigating sleuths following which he was issued fresh summons, to depose on June 9 at 11am. The company official Avnash Julka had appeared on behalf of owner Krishna Kumar Agrawal, but SIT refused to record the former’s statement and issued fresh summons.
