The learned Counsel for the petitioner submitted that due to his health issues, he was not able to appear before the learned Sessions Judge, Principal POCSO Court, Salem on 24.10.2024. Subsequently, due to the absence of the petitioner, the learned Judge ordered Non Bailable Warrant against the petitioner on 13.12.2024. The petitioner was arrested on execution of non bailable warrant and that the petitioner has been suffering incarceration from 13.12.2024.

Side) submits that the accused was absconding for the past 2½ tears and he was secured with great difficulty. He further submits that trial will be completed within a short period and therefore, if the petitioner is enlarged on bail, there is every possibility of the petitioner getting abscond and thereby, the trial would get stalled. 5. Considering the antecedents of the petitioner and the strong objections made by the learned Government Advocate (Crl. Side), this Court is not inclined to grant bail to this petitioner. 6. Accordingly this Criminal Original petition is dismissed. Further, the trial Court is directed to complete the trial and to dispose of the case within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this Order. 25.07.2025 Vv 3/5 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis Crl.O.P.No.20825 of 2025 To 1.The Sessions Judge, Principal POCSO Court, Salem 2.The Inspector of Police, All Women Police Station, Sooramangalam, Salem District. 3.The Public Prosecutor, High Court of Madras. 4/5 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis Crl.O.P.No.20825 of 2025 M.NIRMAL KUMAR, J.
