It was contended that the applicant, a 24-year-old young man, was deemed unlikely to influence the case witnesses at this stage. The State, along with the Objector, opposed the bail application.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">After hearing arguments from both parties, the Court allowed the bail application. The Court considered the fact that material witnesses had been examined and noted that the applicant had been in custody for over a year since 04-10-2022.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The applicant drew attention to Section <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001550523\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">43<\/a> of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0002825996\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">POCSO Act, 2012<\/a>, emphasizing the need for the Central and State Governments to publicize the Act and take stringent measures against those found involved in offences under it. The court directed the Government Advocate for the State to bring Section 43 to the notice of the State Government for appropriate action.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court directed that the applicant be released on bail upon furnishing a personal bond of Rs.50,000\/- (Rupees Fifty Thousand only) and providing one solvent surety in the same amount to the satisfaction of the trial court.
