And In Re : Dalim Sk. & Anr. .... petitioners Ms. Shabana Hasin ....for the petitioners Mr. Rana Mukherjee Mr. Shiladiya Banerjee ... for the State 1.

Heard the learned Counsels for the parties.

2. We have considered the materials on record. Petitioners were involved in running a business of sexual exploitation of the girls. Trafficking for sexual exploitation is an organized crime which has far reaching social impact. There are materials implicating the petitioners in the case. Vulnerable witness is yet to be examined. Hence, we are not inclined to grant bail to the petitioners at this stage.

3. The application for bail is, thus, rejected. (Gaurang Kanth, J.) (Joymalya Bagchi, J.) Signed By :
