In the High Court for the States of Pun jab and Haryana at Chandigarh. CRM.M 16782 of 2009 Decided on July 07,2009. Sanjay Garg @ Sunny -- Petitioner vs. State of Punjab --Respondent. Present: Mr. A.S.Bhinder, Advocate,for the petitioner Mr.Ranbir Singh Rawat,A.A.G.Punjab. Rakesh Kumar Jain, J: Apprehending his arrest, the petitioner has filed this application for anticipatory bail in a case registered vide FIR No. 247 dated 09.6.2009 under Sections 3,4,5, and 8 of the Immoral Traffic (Prevention) Act,1956 at Police Station, Phase-1, Mohali. In short, the case of the prosecution is that on a secret information, a raid was conducted at House No.776, Phase-VI, Mohali on the allegation that Amarjit Kaur wife of Surjit Singh Randhawa along-with Sunny @ Sanjay Garg,resident of House No.68,Mohali, are running a brothel. In the said raid, Amarjit Kaur along-with five girls and two boys were arrested. Learned counsel for the petitioner has argued that the petitioner was not arrested at the spot and is in no manner involved in the immoral activity. Rather on the date of raid, he had gone to Rajasthan for his business purposes and had stayed in a hotel 'Suraj'. On the other hand, learned State Counsel has submitted that during investigation, it has come out that the petitioner is working as a pimp CRM.M 16782 of 2009 -2- in the immoral trafficking. The allegations against the petitioner are direct and serious. The person like the petitioner and his co-accused Amarjit Kaur have opened brothel even in the residential areas. Keeping in view the nature of the offence and the fact that the police requires custody of the petitioner for interrogation, I do not find it to be a fit case for grant of anticipatory bail. Hence, the bail application is hereby dismissed. July 07,2009 (Rakesh Kumar Jain) RR Judge
