Sns 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO. 1094 OF 2011 IN CRIMINAL APPEAL NO.796 OF 2011 Smt. Reshma Mohammed Akil Qureshi ..Applicant. v/s. The State ..Respondent. Mr. Ujwal R. Agandsurve, adv. for the Applicant. Ms P.P.Shinde, APP for the respondent/State. CORAM : J.H.BHATIA, J. DATE : 26th September, 2011 PC : 1 Heard. The applicant, who is original accused no.1 seeks bail pending her appeal against the conviction for the offences punishable under sections 366A, 376, 372, 373 r/w section 34 IPC and under Sections 4 and 5 of the Immoral Traffic (Prevention) Act and the sentence of imprisonment of seven years on each count. 2 The learned counsel for the applicant points out that all the three accused in the case are women and, therefore, they could not have been convicted under Section 376 r/w section 34. There appears substance in his contention. However, taking into consideration the other evidence, it appears that the applicant was the main culprit in introducing the minor girls in the flesh trade. Other two accused persons have been refused bail by this Sns 2 court pending the appeal. Taking into consideration the nature of the offence, in my opinion, it is not a fit case to grant bail to the applicant. 3 Therefore, application stands rejected. 4 As all the three appellants are women and are in jail, paper- book be got prepared as early as possible and thereafter, the matter be listed for final hearing.
