Mr.P.S.Hingorani APP for the State Coram : R.S.Mohite,J Coram : R.S.Mohite,J Coram : R.S.Mohite,J Date : 7.7.2006. PC 1. This is an application made by 4 ladies who have been arrested on 7.5.2006 in connection with C.R.No.37/2006 registered by Local Crime Branch, Kolhapur for alleged offences under Sections 3, 4, 5 & 6 of Prevention of Immoral Traffic Act 1956. On perusing the FIR and statements of the girls, it appears that there is prima facie case made out in respect of Sections 3, 4, & 5 of : 2 : the said Act. It however, appears that all the girls were major and in their statements they do not state that they were forcibly detained. Application of Section 6 of the said Act is therefore, prima facie doubtful. In my view, bail can be granted by imposing stringent conditions. It is therefore, directed that pending their trial in pursuance of C.R.No.37/2006 registered by the Local Crime Branch, Kolhapur, the applicants may be released on bail in the sum of Rs.20,000/- each with one surety each in the like amount subject to the condition that they will stay out of the Kolhapur district. Before being released on bail, they will furnish their address where they intend to reside to the Jailor and on their release they will also furnish the same address to the investigating officer within one week. They will also report to the Station house officer of the : 3 : police station nearest to their place of residence once a fortnight on every first and third Mondays till the disposal of their trial. Application stands disposed off. Authenticated copy of this order be provided to the parties. (R.S.Mohite,J) (R.S.Mohite,J) (R.S.Mohite,J)
