ORDER

The petitioner, who was arrested and remanded to judicial custody on 14.11.2025, for the offences punishable under Sections 5(1), 5(m), 6, 9(1), 9(m), 10 of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act, 2012 and Sections 75 and 77 of the Junvenile Justice (Care and Protection of 1/4

Children) (JJ) Act, 2015 in Crime No.41 of 2025 dated 16.10.2025 pending on the file of the respondent Police, seeks bail. 2.

This is the second anticipatory bail application filed by the petitioner. Earlier, this Court, while considering the bail application in Crl.O.P.No.36071 of 2025 dated 08.01.2026, granted bail to the co-accused. However, insofar as the present petitioner is concerned, this Court found that the specific overt acts were attributed to him and, therefore, dismissed the bail application.

3.

After dismissal of the said application, no change in circumstances has been placed before this Court to warrant reconsideration of the said order. Hence, this Court is not inclined to revisit the earlier order passed dismissing the bail application of the petitioner.

4.

Accordingly, this Criminal Original Petition stands dismissed. 27.01.2026 klt 2/4

To 1.The learned Sessions Judge, POCSO Court, Chengalpet. 2.The Inspector of Police, W-5, AWPS, Selaiyur. 3.The Central Prison, Puzhal.
