    Case Summary: CRM-M/25942/2026 Court Decision: The High Court of Punjab & Haryana granted regular bail to petitioner Ajay Singh, who was accused of enticing away and sexually assaulting a minor under Sections 137(2), 87, 65(1), 127(3) of BNS and Section 6 of POCSO Act. The court found that the petitioner had already undergone 10 months and 10 days of custody, key witnesses (the prosecutrix and her parents) turned hostile during trial, and only 7 of 22 prosecution witnesses had been examined, indicating trial conclusion was not imminent. Key Reasoning: Justice Kirti Singh held that prolonged pre-trial detention without prospect of early trial conclusion violates the constitutional guarantee of personal liberty and right to speedy trial. The court emphasized that bail is the rule and jail the exception, and that no material suggested flight risk or witness intimidation. The court imposed standard bail conditions and clarified that observations were only for bail adjudication, not merits determination. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
