The High Court dismissed a fourth bail petition for an accused convicted in a murder and POCSO case. Despite the investigation being complete, the court found no change in circumstances and deemed the offence grave, fearing the accused might abscond if released pending trial.
No relief was granted; the criminal original petition seeking bail was dismissed.
