DATED: 27th June 2008. DATED: 27th June 2008. DATED: 27th June 2008. P.C.: P.C.: P.C.: ---- ---- ---- . Heard learned counsel for the applicants and learned A.P.P. for the State. 2. This application is under section 438 of Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973. The applicant is apprehending his arrest in C.R.No.232/2007 registered with Nagpada Police Station, Mumbai for the offences punishable under sections 342, 366-A, 372, 373, 376 read with section 34 of Indian Penal Code. 3. The applicant has invoked jurisdiction of this Court after having suffered adverse order dated 3rd March, 2008 in the hands of learned Additional Sessions Judge, Greater Bombay. 4. Having seen the material on record, the antecedents of the applicant, she is engaged in, running a profession of prostitution. The material on record shows that even after obtaining bail in some crimes registered against her, she has been indulging in similar type of offences. Once the bail is granted, the possibility of her again indulging in the same offences cannot be ruled out. Considering the impact of her activities on the social fabric and the society, I do not think this is a fit case for grant of anticipatory bail. 5. In the result, application is rejected.
