Aravinth v. The State Rep By

Crl.O.P.No.15285 of 2024 Crl.O.P.No.15285 of 2024 C.V.KARTHIKEYAN , J.

It is stated on behalf of the respondent by Mr.S.Balaji, learned Government Advocate (Crl. Side) that Special S.C.No.123 of 2020 is pending trial before the Special Court for Exclusive Trial of POCSO Act cases at Thiruvannamalai. The Sessions case is now listed for examination in chief of the Doctor and the Investigating Officer. It is however stated that on behalf of the accused none of the prosecution witnesses have been cross-examined. It would only be to the advantage of the petitioner that he atleast crossexamines the victim and thereafter can take his time to cross-examine the other witnesses.

2.

The status as prevailed in the previous occasion still remains. There is no change in circumstances. Hence, I am not inclined to grant bail at this juncture. The Criminal Original Petition stands dismissed. If the petitioner cross-examines the material witnesses, then he can come forward to seek bail once again.
