Sivakumar v. State Rep.By

Crl.O.P.No.23101 of 2023 Crl.O.P.No.23101 of 2023 C.V.KARTHIKEYAN , J.

The petitioner is the father of the victim child, who seeks bail in Crime No.13 of 2023 registered by the respondent police for the offences punishable under Sections 5(n), 5(i) r/w 6(1) of POCSO Act, 2012, and Section 506(i) of IPC and he had been taken into custody on 08.03.2023.

2. The learned Government Advocate (Crl. Side) for the respondent had forwarded the statement recorded under Section 164 Cr.P.C of the victim child and it is clear that the petitioner had committed the said offence and the acts, which in the first place, he should be ashamed of.

3. Taking into consideration that there is always possibility of exercising influence over the defacto complainant, at this stage, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. I am concious that I have not stated the facts in detail. It is clear that the petitioner should be restrained in the interest of the victim child.
