The Supreme Court emphasized that victim safety and trial integrity are paramount when considering bail in POCSO cases. The court canceled bail for an accused in a 2024 gangrape case, citing the Allahabad High Court's order as 'perverse' for not considering the threat to the victim. Justices BV Nagarathna and R Mahadevan highlighted concerns over evidence tampering and witness intimidation, stating that such heinous offenses against children shake society's conscience and require prompt, sensitive handling.
