POCSO Act Bail Jurisprudence | Prosecutrix's Consent and Cohabitation Override Gravity of Offence: MP HC Grants Bail Under BNSS Section 483

Madhya Pradesh High Court grants bail in a POCSO case where the prosecutrix, now an adult, affirmed her consent and cohabitation with the accused, resulting in a child. The ruling emphasizes judicial discretion in balancing the gravity of the offence against mitigating circumstances, including the prosecutrix's affidavit and the child's future welfare.
