In Vijay Kumar v. Narendra and Others, (2002) 9 SCC 36 this Court observed as follows: “10. On perusal of the record and on consideration of the submissions made by the learned counsel appearing for the parties, we are of the view that in the context of the facts and circumstances of the case the High Court was in error in passing the order releasing the respondents on bail. The High Court has neither given any reason nor has indicated any exceptional circumstance for granting bail to the respondents. In the above circumstances, it is difficult for us to even surmise the circumstance which prompted the learned Single Judge to consider the accused persons to be entitled to the discretionary relief of bail pending the appeal. The principle is well settled that in considering the prayer for bail in a case involving a serious offence like murder punishable under Section 302 IPC, the court should consider the relevant factors like the nature of the accusation made against the accused, the manner in which the crime is alleged to have been committed, the gravity of the offence, and the desirability of releasing [2026:RJ-JP:4715] (4 of 4) [SOSA-1676/2025] the accused on bail after they have been convicted for committing the serious offence of murder. Our attention has not been drawn to any material which would show that the learned Single Judge took into consideration the relevant factors while passing the bail order. We refrain ourselves from making any observation touching on merits of the case lest it may prejudice any of the parties. Suffice it to state that we do not consider this a fit case for grant of bail to the respondents during pendency of the appeal filed by them.” Though said in the context of Section 302 IPC, it applies with equal force to a case of the present nature under the POCSO Act, also." vihykFkhZ@vfHk;qDr }kjk 13 o"khZ; vcks/k ckfydk ds lkFk cykRdkj djus ds rF; vfHkys[k ij gSa vkSj bl lanHkZ esa lacaf/kr U;k;ky; }kjk vius fu.kZ; esa vfHk;ksD=h dh lk{; ds vfrfjDr fpfdRldh; ,oa jklk;fud tkap fjiksVZ ,oa Mh,u, fjiksVZ dk voyac ysrs gq, vihykFkhZ@vfHk;qDr dks nks"kfl) fd;k x;k gSA bl izdze ij izdj.k ds xq.kkoxq.kksa ij xgurk ls fopkj djus dh vko';drk ugha gSA izFken`"V;k vfHkys[k ij mijksDr izys[kh; lk{; mifLFkr gSa ftlls vihykFkhZ@vfHk;qDr }kjk vijk/k dkfjr fd, tkus ds rF; vfHkys[k ij fd, gSaA vihykFkhZ@vfHk;qDr dh vfHkj{kk dh vof/k vius vkiesa bl izdkj ds xaHkhj vijk/kksa esa vihykFkhZ@vfHk;qDr ds naMkns'k dks fuyafcr djrs gq, NksM+s tkus dk vk/kkj ugha gks ldrh gSA vr% mijksDr f}rh; ltk LFkxu izkFkZuk i= vLohdkj fd;k tkrk gSA vihykFkhZ@vfHk;qDr vihy dh 'kh?kz lquokbZ gsrq lacaf/kr U;k;ky; ds le{k vkosnu izLrqr djus gsrq Lora= gSaA (PRAVEER BHATNAGAR),J RAMESHWAR /31
