In a recent decision, the Delhi High Court has granted interim bail to a woman convicted under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act. The bail comes in light of the death of the convict's father.
A vacation bench, led by Justice Pratibha M Singh, heard the convict's plea. The woman, formerly a security guard, is serving a 25-year sentence for aggravated penetrative sexual assault, abetment, and failing to report or record the crime.
The court's order on June 18 verified the father's death and stipulated conditions for the bail. The convict must furnish a bond and surety, only visit her village residence, report daily to the police, keep her mobile number active, and surrender after two weeks.
