1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT MUMBAI CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO.2157 OF 2009 Roni @ Shariful Islam Shahaduat Mulla .. Applicant. Vs. State of Maharashtra .. Respondents. Mr.Murtaza M.Najami for the applicant. Mr.S.S.Pednekar A.P.P. for the State. Coram: D.B. BHOSALE, J. Dated : 16TH JULY, 2009 P.C. Heard learned counsel for the applicant and learned A.P.P. for the State. 2. The applicant is seeking bail in C.R.No.I-359 of 2007 Nallasopara police station. The crime has been registered against the applicant and others for having allegedly committed an offence punishable under sections 366(A), 366(B), 372, 373, 376 r/w 34 of IPC and sections 5, 6(1), (2), (3) of the Prevention of Immoral Traffic Act. 3. I have perused the statement of the prosecutrix – Shalina Mia Hussain, who was minor on the date of the incident. I have also perused the statement of Tasmeen Hussain, another minor girl who was also brought with the prosecutrix to Mumbai. The prosecutrix has stated in detail as to how the applicant raped 2 her and forced to indulge in prostitution. In my opinion, this is not a fit case to enlarge the applicant on bail. Hence the application is rejected. While passing this order I shall not be understood to have expressed any opinion on merits of the case and the trial Court shall deal with the case uninfluenced by the observations made in this order. Application is disposed of. (D. B. Bhosale, J.)
