Crl.M.No.M-27017 of 2010 (O&M) -1- IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. Crl.M.No.M-27017 of 2010 (O&M) Date of Decision:October 29, 2010 Amarjit Singh .....Petitioner v. State of Punjab .....Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE RAM CHAND GUPTA Present: Mr.Ranjan Lakhanpal, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr.K.D.Sachdeva, Addl.A.G., Punjab. ...... RAM CHAND GUPTA, J.(Oral) The present petition filed under Section 438 Cr.P.C. is for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioner in case FIR No.372, dated 24.8.2010, under Sections 3/ 4/5/6/7 of Immoral Traffic (Prevention) Act, 1956, registered at Police Station Civil Lines, District Amritsar City. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and have gone through the whole record carefully. Brief allegations against the petitioner-accused are that he is owner of Bharat Hotel, whereas co-accused Gagandeep Singh is Manager of the said hotel. Secret information was received by the police that petitioner-accused is allowing the said premisses to be used for the purpose of immoral traffic. Premises was raided and a boy and a girl were found in a objectionable condition in the room of hotel and they were arrested. Manager of the hotel was also arrested. However, petitioner-accused managed to escape. Co-accused has already been arrested and released on bail. It is not such a case in which extraordinary relief of anticipatory bail should be granted to the petitioner-accused. Hence, in view of these facts, and without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, the present petition filed by petitioner- Crl.M.No.M-27017 of 2010 (O&M) -2- Amarjit Singh for grant of anticipatory bail is, hereby, dismissed being devoid of any merit. 29.10.2010 (Ram Chand Gupta) meenu Judge
