POCSO Act | Victim’s Consent Not a Defense to Bail; Prima Facie Evidence of Mutual Relationship Justifies Bail: Allahabad HC
Allahabad HC ruled that consent of a minor victim under the POCSO Act does not bar bail if prima facie evidence suggests a mutual relationship. The court emphasized that bail decisions must be based on evidence assessment, not merely the gravity of the offense, setting a precedent for similar cases.
