Section 6 POCSO Act | Anticipatory Bail Granted Where Victim’s Minority Unproven and Consensual Relationship Alleged: Bombay HC Aurangabad

Bombay High Court Aurangabad grants anticipatory bail in a POCSO case, ruling that the prosecution failed to establish the victim’s minority through investigation, while the FIR suggested a consensual relationship. The court emphasized that liberty must be protected where allegations lack evidentiary support on critical elements like age.
