4. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner has submitted that petitioner is innocent and has committed no offence. He has been falsely implicated in this case. He is the operator of Muskan Orchestra. Only allegation against the petitioner and others is that they forced the girls to dance wearing small clothes. From perusal of the order of the learned trial Court, it is clear that six recovered girls have given their statement under Section 183 of the B.N.S.S. wherein they have stated that they were working in an orchestra. Nothing else has been stated by them. Learned counsel for the petitioner has stated that the nature of allegation is general and omnibus. Petitioner is having no criminal antecedent and he is languishing in judicial custody since 15.08.2025. Learned counsel has further submitted that similarly situated other co-accused person has already been granted bail by this court vide Cr. Misc. No. 76339 of 2025.
5. Learned APP appearing for the State has vehemently opposed the application for bail.
