Notice of motion. 4. Mr. Kunwarbir Singh, AAG, Punjab, accepts notice on behalf of respondent-State and opposed the prayer for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioner, arguing that on 26.04.2026, the police party, while on patrol duty chanced upon a house where several boys and girls were present and were found in objectionable position. Name of the petitioner was disclosed as the person who, in connivance with co-accused, Harjinder Singh was running the illegal business of prostitution, forcing the girls in the illegal trade. Custodial interrogation of the petitioner was required and it was not a fit case to grant anticipatory bail. 5. Given the nature and substance of allegations against the petitioner who is alleged to be running flesh trade in a premises, his custodial interrogation would be necessitated to elicit useful facts and to recover rent deed of the premises. Grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioner at this stage, would seriously impede the process of investigation, which is not permissible. Hence the prayer for grant of anticipatory bail is declined. 6. Dismissed.
