13 Sunday June 9, 2019 STATE TIMES NEWS JAMMU: Principal Sessions Judge Jammu V.C Koul on Saturday rejected the bail application of Balwan Kumar, son of late Manga alias Manga Ram, resident of Parth Pargwal (Marh Kulla) Jammu, who was arrested and booked under POCSO Act. According to case, com- plainant Bali Ram lodged report that accused kid- napped his daughter on August 1, 2018, when she was sleeping along with her family inside his residential Kulla and took her to some unknown place. After hearing both the sides, the court observed that in such cases, the exer- cise of discretion vested in the courts cannot be exer- cised in favour of the accused as a matter of course and he cannot be granted bail without their being extraordinary circum- stances in his favour. "The act which is alleged of hav- ing been committed by the accused is a heinous offence having provoked social con- demnation and social dis- gust. Court cannot ignore at this stage the public anger and condemnation that the act of the accused has pro- voked. Admitting the accused to bail at this stage of the case would add to, and aggravate, that anger and condemnation and may cause people lose faith in the administration of criminal justice. Considering the present bail matter on the pedestal of justice and objectivity, this court does not find any merit in it. The accused cannot be granted bail at this stage of the case", the court observed adding that the other reason which persuades this court to reject this bail petition is to prevent the accused from absconding and tampering with the prosecution evi- dence. With these observa- tions, court rejected the bail application.
