1. Heard learned lawyers for the parties.

2. We have considered the materials on record. Statements of the victims show petitioner had procured them for commercial sexual exploitation.

3. In view of the nature of crime which has far reaching social consequences and as victims are yet to be examined, we are not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner.

4. Accordingly, prayer for bail is rejected. (Gaurang Kanth, J.) (Joymalya Bagchi, J.)
