Heard learned counsel for the applicant and learned APP for the State. . This is the second application for bail. The earlier application for bail was rejected vide order dated 8.12.2008 by speaking order. . Counsel for the applicant submits that an officer, who carried out the investigation in the present case, was not a Special Officer as contemplated by section 13 of the Immoral Traffic (Prevention) Act,1956 and, therefore, the entire proceedings deserves to be quashed. He submits that on this ground the applicant is entitled to be released on bail. The submissions of the learned counsel for the applicant are devoid of any merits for more than one reasons. Firstly, the learned APP, on instructions, has denied that the officer, who carried out the investigation, was not Special Officer as contemplated by section 13, and secondly, till now, no petition for quashing has been filed by the applicant. His earlier application has been rejected on merits. In the circumstances, the application is rejected. (D.B.BHOSALE, J.) (D.B.BHOSALE, J.) (D.B.BHOSALE, J.)
