Court's or Judge's orders Coram: A. H. Joshi and A. R. Joshi, JJ. Date : 25th August 2011 Shri Narayan B. Narwade, Adv. for applicants. Shri N.B. Patil, A.P.P. for Respondent No. 1. ---------- 1. Heard learned Advocate for the applicants, at length. 2. Perused the record annexed to the petition and the First Information Reports. 3. The contents of the FIRs, which are more or less, photo-type and are similar in nature in all cases, contain following imputations; 2 criap-3219.11 (i) The complainants were arrested by police under the charge of prostitution. (ii) Pradeep Rupchand Muswat got them released on bail and thereafter he took them to the place under his control. (iii) All other accused persons held the complainants in confinement. (iv) The accused persons used to bring the customers and keep part of the amount paid by the customers, with them. (v) The accused persons refused to release the complainants from confinement on the ground that accused No.1 had incurred ` 20,000/= for getting them released on bail. (vi) They have, therefore, filed the complaints on account of wrongful confinement under Sections 341 and 376 of I.P.C. read with Sections 3,4,5,6 and 7 of the Immoral Traffic (Prevention) Act, 1956. 4. Upon discreet reading of the complaints, learned Advocate for the applicants tried to persuade us that the acts of forcible intercourse and wrongful confinement have not been amply described in the complaints and that offences under these sections are not made out from the FIR. 3 criap-3219.11 5. We cannot forget the position that the FIR by itself is never to be an encyclopedia and that the details of crime are to be explored in the course of investigation. 6. If the investigating officer finds that the offences complained of are not made out, as would emerge from the evidence, the police would eliminate the same at the time of filing of final report. 7. We are, therefore, not inclined to entertain the applications. 8. The applications are, therefore, dismissed. (A. R. JOSHI, J.) ( A. H. JOSH, J.) pnd/criap-3219.11
