K. Tahilramani, J.] . Heard the learned advocate for the petitioners and the learned APP for the respondent. The petitioners are seeking quashing of CR No. II 139 of 2007, registered at Wagle Estate Police Station, Thane under Section 4, 5, 6 and 7 of the Immoral Traffic (Prevention) Act 1956. 2. Raid came to be conducted and at that at Sheetal Bar at Thane. The petitioners who claimed to be waitresses, were found at the - 2 - said Bar. The contents of FIR prima-facie shows that prostitution was going in the premises, when the raid was conducted. Looking into contents of the FIR and the fact that investigation is going on, we do not find this to be a fit case to interfere at this stage. Hence, petition is rejected. 3. It may be stated here that the petitioners are not in police custody but they are in Rehabilitation Centre at Chembur. It would be open to the petitioners to take such steps for taking them out of the rehabilitation center, as permissible in accordance with law. Sd/- [ R.M.S. KHANDEPARKAR, J.] R.M.S.
