ORDER
This anticipatory bail application has been filed by the parents of a Child in Conflict with the Law, who is alleged to have committed offences under Sections 354 A, 376 of the Indian Penal Code and Sections 3(a)(b), 4, 5j (ii), 7, 8 of the Protection Of Children from Sexual Offences Act (POCSO Act). The allegation is that the Child in Conflict with the Law and the minor victim are neighbours and they entered into sexual relationship.
2. The learned Public Prosecutor, on instruction, would
submit that the filing of this anticipatory bail application is wholly unnecessary, as the Child in Conflict with the Law is to be produced before the Juvenile Justice Board and the prosecution does not even intend to seek the detention of the Child in Conflict with the Law. Recording the above submission of the learned Public Prosecutor, this anticipatory bail application is closed, as the prosecution has no intention to seek detention of the Child in Conflict with the Law in any manner.
