Woman Seeks Bail for Partner Accused of Child Abuse
A man was accused of hurting a child.
He was put in jail.
Later, the child's mother, who made the accusation, wanted him out of jail.
She told the court the child missed him.
The court agreed to let him out on bail because the trial was taking too long.
The child had also told the court she didn't remember the abuse, and the mother missed court dates.
Now, the man has to go to court hearings and stay away from a certain area.
A Salt Lake entrepreneur sought bail for her live-in partner accused of abusing her daughter.
The woman stated that her child missed her partner and the trial was delayed.
The accused was granted bail by Calcutta High Court due to the delay.
The court noted the victim was declared a 'hostile witness' and the mother failed to appear in court.
The court directed the accused to appear at Pocso special court on each hearing date and stay outside of Bidhannagar Police jurisdiction.
