Heard the learned Advocate for the applicant and the learned APP for the State. 2. The applicant is seeking bail in C.R. No. I-43 of 2008 of Central Police Station, ULhasnagar. The said case is under Sections 341, 342, 363(a), 328, 366, 504, 506, 376 read with Section 34 of IPC and under Sections 3, 4 and 6 of PITA Act. :2: 3. The victim girl has stated that she was made unconscious and she was brought from Calcutta to Ulhasnagar. At Ulhasnagar she was kept in Dream Night Lodge. The Manager of Dream Night Lodge forced her to have sexual intercourse with the customers who came to the hotel. So also the victim girl has stated that when she lodged FIR, the Manager and the owner of the Dream Night Lodge came to be arrested. While giving the names of the persons who were arrested, she has also stated the name of the applicant. 4. The bail application of the applicant came to be rejected earlier on the ground that witness Sudarshan Shetty and other witnesses has stated that the applicant was the Manager of the Dream Night Lodge. The learned Advocate for the applicant has pointed out further statement of the complainant wherein she has clearly stated that the Manager of Dream Night Lodge is one Zakir Shaikh. As far as the witness Sudarshan Shetty is concerned, he is not working in Dream Night Lodge and he has stated that Zakir Shaikh, the applicant and one-two other persons :3: were working in Dream Night Lodge. This witness had not clearly stated that the applicant was working as the Manager of the Lodge. The case of the victim girl is that the Manager of the Lodge forced her into prostitution. However, her further statement makes it clear that the Manager of the Lodge was Zakir Shaikh. It is specific case of the victim girl that the Manager of the Lodge had forced her in the prostitution. As per her further statement she has stated that the Manager is Zakir Shaikh. Looking to this fact, I am inclined to grant bail to the applicant. 5. Hence, the application is allowed and the applicant be released on bail in the sum of Rs. 30,000/- with one or two sureties to make up the amount. The applicant shall report to the Central Police Station, Ulhasnagar-3 once in a week till the disposal of the trial. (Smt.V.K. Tahilramani,J.) (Smt.V.K. Tahilramani,J.) (Smt.V.K. Tahilramani,J.)
