This application is filed for bail in Crime No 73/2011 registered with Shevgaon Police Station, District Ahmednagar, for the offence punishable under section 344, 376 read with section 34 of the Indian Penal Code and under section 3,4,5,6,and 7 of the P.I.T.A.Act. 2. Papers of the investigation are made available by the prosecution. 2 Cri.A.2204.11 The Crime was registered on the basis of report given by the victim, who was allegedly detained by the applicant in the brothel house. She has made allegation that, in one case present applicant helped her to get released her on bail. She has made allegation that applicant is saying that he has incurred expenses of Rs.20,000/- for bail proceeding. She has made allegation that she was detained in room and the applicant had locked the room. She has made allegation that she was forced to do the work of prostitution and applicant used to send the customers to her. She has made allegation that she was not allowed to leave the room. She was detained there from 25.03.2011 to 26.04.2011. It is her case that her husband helped her and ultimately Police rescued her. 3. APP submitted that it is not first offence registered against the applicant. He has drawn the attention to the order made by this Court in the year 2009 in favour of the applicant, in similar offence. At that time, he was granted relief of bail as no criminal back ground found against the applicant. Submissions made in the Court today show that not only present offence, but six more offences are registered against the applicant. After raiding brothel house seven girls, who were detained, came forward and they gave reports against the applicant. Today some record is shown by the advocate of the applicant. This record shows that date of raid in that case 3 Cri.A.2204.11 was 23.03.2011 and Crime Number was 07 of 2011. The brother of the complainant was found in brothel house and in all 83 articles came to be recovered. There is sufficient material to make out prima facie case that the applicant is involved in the business of prostitution and running brothel house. Previous case is not yet concluded and this goes to show that applicant is likely to misuse the liberty, if he is granted bail. So the application stands rejected. Sd/- [ T.V.NALAWADE, J.] MTK
