BNS 2023 | Pregnancy Evidence & Minor Victim Status Justify Bail Denial in Sexual Offence Case : Patna HC
Patna High Court denies bail under Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita 2023, emphasizing the gravity of sexual exploitation of a minor with confirmed pregnancy as sufficient grounds for detention. The ruling underscores that medical evidence and victim's minority status outweigh the accused's clean antecedents, setting a precedent for stricter bail scrutiny in POCSO-adjacent offences.
