My son is facing charges under Sections 363, 366 and 7/8 of the POCSO Act in the Agra court. The investigation officer has filed a charge sheet and the court has accepted it. Can my son stay in jail while the case proceeds? Also, could the opposition lawyer try to get the charge sheet dismissed in the High Court?

Yes, your son can stay in jail while the case proceeds. The court will decide on bail based on the nature of the charges and evidence presented. The opposition lawyer can indeed try to get the charge sheet dismissed in the High Court, but this depends on the grounds for dismissal and the High Court’s discretion.
