What is this about?
The single-judge bench rejected the bail application filed under section 439 Cr.P.C. in a POCSO case involving alleged rape of a 15-year-old minor. The court held that despite affidavits from the victim and her mother expressing willingness to marry later, the nature of the offence against a minor precluded bail.
