Section 9 POCSO Act | Bail Granted Where Medical Evidence Fails to Prove Penetrative Assault and Victim’s Statement Lacks Consistency: Bombay HC
Bombay High Court grants bail in a POCSO case after finding that the medical report did not confirm penetrative sexual assault and the victim’s police statement omitted key allegations. The ruling underscores that proportionality and evidentiary gaps may justify bail even in serious offences under the POCSO Act.
