Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court suspended the High Court's order granting bail 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, which warranted the respondent's custody during the trial. The Court directed the respondent to surrender to the trial court to facilitate the prosecutrix's deposition.
