Borade, APP for State in CA 2289, 2290/11. Mr. B.J. Sonawane, APP for State in CA 2291 & 2292/11. CORAM : T. V. NALAWADE, J. DATED : 21st June, 2011. PER COURT : 1. All the applications are filed for anticipatory bail. The first application is filed in Cr. Nos. 73/2011 registered with Shevgaon Police Station, District Ahmednagar for offences punishable under sections 344, 376 r/w. 34 of IPC and also for offences under section 3 to 7 of PITA. Second application is filed in Cr. No. 74/2011, third application is filed in Cr. No. 75/2011, fourth application is filed in Cr. No. 76/2011, fifth application is filed in Cr. No. 77/2011, sixth application is filed in Cr. No. 78/2011 and the last application is filed in Cr. No. 79/2011 registered in the same police station for similar offences. The APP has made papers of investigation available. Both the sides are heard. 2. Allegations are made in the reports given by seven girls that they were illegally detained in rooms from building known as Cri. Apln. Nos. 2287/11 & ors. 2 Office Notes, Office Memoranda of Coram, appearances, Court’s orders or directions and Registrar’s orders Court’s or Judge’s orders "Nishigandha" belonging to present applicant No. 1 from 25.3.2011 to 26.4.2011. Allegations are made that Pradeep Muswat, son of applicant No. 1, had detained them there. Applicant No. 2 is wife of Pradeep. Allegations are made that Pradeep and present applicants were sending customers to them and these persons were forcing the complainants to work as prostitute in that building. 3. It appears that in past in the year 2009 anticipatory bail was granted in similar offence to present applicant No. 1. Thus, there is previous record in respect of applicant No. 1. There are allegations against the husband of applicant No. 2 and also against applicant No. 2 that they have also forced these girls to work as prostitute. It was submitted by the advocate for the applicants that these girls worked as prostitutes and false allegations are made against applicants by them at the instance of police. It was submitted that after granting anticipatory bail by this Court to applicant No. 1 on last occasion, action was immediately taken by police and these girls were instigated by police to lodge false reports. It was also submitted that the building "Nishigandha" does not belong to applicant No. 1. 4. It appears that there are allegations of seven girls against present applicants that they were forceably detained in the room and they were forced to work as prostitute. At this stage the advocate for Cri. Apln. Nos. 2287/11 & ors. 3 Office Notes, Office Memoranda of Coram, appearances, Court’s orders or directions and Registrar’s orders Court’s or Judge’s orders applicant No. 1 submitted that he is not pressing the applications for applicant No. 1. In view of this submission, applications of applicant No. 1 stand disposed of as not pressed. 5. The offence committed is anti-social in nature. There are direct allegations against applicant No. 2 made by seven girls. It does not look probable that false reports are given by seven girls against applicant No. 2. They did not know even the name of applicant No. 2 and they have described her as wife of Pradeep. In these circumstances, there is prima facie sufficient material against applicant No. 2 on record. Hence, I hold that discretionary relief cannot be used in favour of applicant No. 2 also. So all the applications stand rejected. 6. The advocate for applicants submitted that name of one Sachin Muswat came to be deleted subsequently. This circumstance will not help the applicants in any way. [ T. V.
