She has been in the imprison for four and half months. Learned APP while opposing this bail application points out that the accused alongwith co-accused was running brothel and she alongwith other accused has purchased the minor girls. Considering the charges and the Sections for which applicant-accused is convicted, I am not inclined to grant gain pending the appeal. Application for bail is rejected. Appeal is admitted. [ MRS.
