POCSO Act | Bail Granted Despite FIR Where Victim Admits Consensual Relationship & Ossification Test Suggests Majority : Allahabad HC
Allahabad HC grants bail in a POCSO case where the victim's statements under Sections 180 and 183 BNSS admit a consensual relationship, and ossification test indicates she was 18-19 years old. The court emphasizes non-custodial trial to prevent misuse of incarceration, especially when custodial interrogation is unnecessary post-charge-sheet filing.
