  • Supreme Court & Delhi HC Set New Precedents on POCSO Bail & Arrest Rights: Know Your Legal Options

In a landmark ruling Hemchand v. State of Chhattisgarh, (2025), the Supreme Court granted an interim bail to a POCSO convicted accused, directing housing, employment, and counselling support to facilitate family reunion signalling that bail under POCSO is not automatically barred even post-conviction. Also, the Delhi High Court recently ruled in Habibur Molla v. State GNCT Delhi (2026) that failure to provide written “grounds of arrest” violates Article 22(1), making custody illegal and entitles an accused to bail.
