    Summary: The High Court of Chhattisgarh rejected the bail application of Lalit Dewangan, who was arrested for sexually abusing a 12-year-old girl under the pretext of marriage, violating Sections 64(2)(M) and 65(1) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, and Section 6 of the POCSO Act. The court denied bail considering the grave nature of the offense, the victim's objection, her minor age, and the applicant's prior criminal history, despite his claim of innocence and lengthy custody.
