Section 483 BNSS | Advanced Age, Delayed FIR, and Pending Trial Justify Bail in POCSO Case : MP HC Jabalpur
MP High Court grants bail to an 80-year-old accused in a POCSO case, emphasizing that prolonged pre-trial detention without trial commencement violates bail jurisprudence. The ruling underscores that delayed FIR and absence of flight risk or tampering allegations warrant release, even in serious offences, setting a precedent for elderly undertrials.
