    The Calcutta High Court rejected the bail application of Tara Sankar Paul, accused of crimes including child trafficking and exploitation under IPC sections 366A/370/372/373 and POCSO Act. Though the petitioner had been in custody for 27 months with only one of 20 prosecution witnesses examined, the court found the charges grave and declined bail, granting the State three additional months to complete evidence regarding vulnerable witnesses before the petitioner could renew bail prayers.
