The applicant had earlier moved this Court with a prayer for bail and her application was rejected by the order dated 25th September, 2008 on merits by this Court in Criminal Application No.2282/2008, considering the seriousness of the accusations and the nature of the crime in which she is involved. 4. According to learned Advocate for the applicant, the applicant is awaiting trial since long and considering the fact that co-accused are granted bail, she may also be granted bail. 5. Perused the reply filed by the Respondent-State. It is stated that the applicant is running a brothel house in a residential locality; is indulging in kidnapping minor girls for the purpose of prostitution. She used to lure the minor girls and used to give seductive drugs and after the victim became unconscious, used to take nude photographs and, therefore, used to threat and blackmail the victim. One of such victims had lodged a report against the present applicant and other co-accused. It is further contended that the applicant used to blackmail the persons and used to extort money. According to Investigating Agency statements of some of the witnesses have been recorded u/s 164 of the Cr.P.C. indicating that applicant was indulging in forcing minor girls into flesh trade. 6. No change in circumstance can be noted so as to enlarge the applicant on bail since rejection of the bail on 25th September, 2008. 7. At this stage, the learned counsel for the applicant seeks permission to withdraw the Application which is strongly objected by the learned APP. Be that as it may; Application is rejected.
