.... .... Opposite Party ====================================================== Appearance :

For the Petitioner/s : Mr. Ramesh Kumar Singh For the Opposite Party/s : Smt. Veena Rani Prasad. ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE VINOD KUMAR SINHA ORAL ORDER 04-09-2017 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner.

This is an application for bail in connection with Araria Mahila P.S. Case No. 30 of 2017 registered for the offences punishable under Sections 370, 371, 34 of the Indian Penal Code and 4, 5 & 6 of Immoral Traffic Protection Act. Allegation against the petitioner is running of immoral trafficking and petitioner was arrested at the spot and victim girl disclosed the fact before police.

Submission of learned counsel for the petitioner is that petitioner is a lady and she has falsely been implicated in his case at the instance of police and one N.G.O. Further submission is that the victim lady, who was recovered, has not supported the prosecution case in her statement under Section 164 Cr.P.C.,

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.36036 of 2017 (3) dt.04-09-2017 2/2 rather she has stated that she was working as maid servant in the house of the petitioner and petitioner in in custody since 22.6.2017.

Heard learned APP also, who has opposed the prayer for bail.

Having heard both sides and in view of facts and circumstances, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner at this stage, hence her prayer for bail is rejected with direction to the court below that at the time of framing of charge, if prayer for bail is made, he may consider the entire materials available on the record and pass an appropriate order.

Learned court is further directed to expedite the commitment of the case and after that shall hear the parties on charge/discharge expeditiously.
