--- Respondent For the applicant :

Mr. Sanjay Agrawal, Advocate For the State :

Mr. Sangharsh Pandey, Panel Lawyer Hon'ble Shri Justice Goutam Bhaduri Order on Board .07.2017

1. This is third bail application filed under Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure seeking grant of regular bail to the applicant in connection with Crime No.162 of 2016 registered at P.S. Tikrapara, Raipur (C.G) for the offence punishable under Sections 3, 4, 5, 7 & 8 of Immoral Traffic (Prevention) Act, 1956. of IPC.

2. As per the prosecution case, on 30.04.2016 on receipt of information that in the house of Dilip Kumar Manikpuri, business of prostitution is being carried on, a raid was conducted in the house wherein two ladies along with other persons were found in objectionable condition and thereby the aforesaid offence was committed.

3. Learned counsel for the applicant would submit that this is third bail application; the first bail application was rejected on 19.07.2016 and the second one was rejected on 06.12.2016. He submits that the appellant is in jail since 30.04.2016 and similarly placed other accused have been enlarged on bail.

4. On the other hand, learned State Counsel opposes the prayer.

5. Considering the contention of the counsel for the applicant that the applicant is in jail since 30.04.2016 whereas other similarly placed co-accused have been enlarged on bail and still the trial is not concluded, I am inclined to allow this bail application at this stage.

6. Accordingly the bail application is allowed and the applicant is directed to be released on bail on his executing a personal bond in sum of Rs.25,000/- with one surety in the like sum to the satisfaction of the trial Court for his appearance as and when directed by the said Court.

Cc as per rules.
