It is submitted on behalf of the petitioner that the petitioner is a 23-year old person and is in custody for about 3 months. Charge-sheet has been submitted. Further detention of the petitioner is not required for the purpose of investigation. State produces the case diary and opposes the prayer for bail.

I have considered the submission made on behalf of the parties and material on record. The petitioner is in custody for about 3 months. Charge-sheet has been submitted under Sections 354A/354D of the Indian Penal Code and Sections 8 and 12 of the POCSO Act.

Considering the material available in the case diary as well as the period of detention of the petitioner, this Court is inclined to hold that further detention of the petitioner is not required for the purpose of custodial interrogation.
