Analysis and Conclusion
The POCSO Act categorizes offences into bailable and non-bailable based on their severity. While minor offences like Sections 12 and 354A are bailable, grave offences such as Sections 376(2)(n) and 376(3) are non-bailable, reflecting their serious nature. The issuance of warrants and arrest procedures are governed accordingly, with non-bailable offences requiring judicial approval for bail. This classification aims to balance the protection of children's rights with the need for strict law enforcement SREEJITH Vs SUB INSPECTOR OF POLICE - Kerala, UMMER KHAN vs STATE OF KERALA - Kerala, Farhat Kausar VS State of Telangana - Telangana.
