Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court suspended the High Court's bail order granted to the respondent, who is charged under Sections 376, 420/34, 366-A, 370, 370-A, 212, 120-B IPC, and Sections 4, 6, and 8 of the POCSO Act, 2012, as well as Sections 4, 5, and 6 of the Immoral Traffic Act, 1956. The Court emphasized the necessity for the prosecutrix to testify without fear of pressure, thus requiring the respondent to remain in custody during her deposition. The Court directed the trial court to expedite the recording of the prosecutrix's evidence within two weeks of the respondent's surrender.
