S.B.CR. MISC. BAIL APPLICATION NO.7745/2008 KRISHNA AND ORS. VS. STATE OF RAJ. 21.10.2008 HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE MAHESH BHAGWATI Mrs. Kausar Praveen, for the petitioners. Mr. RP Kuldeep,Public Prosecutor for the State. This order governs the disposal of bail application filed by Mrs. Kausar Praveen, Advocate on behalf of the applicants Krishna, Laxmi, Sarita, Mala, Shyam Lal, Sumitra and Sunita pertaining to F.I.R. No. 309/2008 of Police Station Devli, District Tonk in the offences under Sections 3, 7 and 8 of the Immoral Traffic (Prevention) Act, 1956. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner as also the learned Public Prosecutor for the State and perused the material on record. The learned counsel for the petitioners has contended that all the petitioners have been falsely implicated in this case. They have been living at Polyada since the year 1983. The offences are triable by the Court of Judicial Magistrate First Class and not punishable with death or life imprisonment. It is also contended that no useful purpose would be served in keeping the petitioners behind the bar for indefinite period, as such, they may be released on bail. The learned Public Prosecutor has opposed the bail petition primarily on the ground that the houses of the petitioners are juxtaposed to the National Highway and the ladies, residing in these houses, usually mesmerize the young people causing a dis-order in the society as also causing the life of the youngsters stray. Many more cases have been pending against them, as such, their bail petition is found to have stood dismissed. -2- Having considered the submissions made at the bar and perused the relevant material on record, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case but keeping in view the facts and circumstances as also the gravity of the offences prevailing in the present times, I do not feel inclined to grant bail to the accused petitioners, their petition is found to have stood dismissed. In the result, the bail petition filed on behalf of the accused petitioners under Section 439 of Cr.P.C. stands dismissed. (MAHESH BHAGWATI)J. PCG
