POCSO (Protection of Children from Sexual Offences) Act, 2012 is a special law enacted to protect children from sexual offences. The Act provides for stringent punishment for sexual offences against children and prescribes certain special procedures for the investigation and trial of such cases.
 
In a POCSO case under sections 5 and 6 of the POCSO Act, which pertain to aggravated penetrative sexual assault, the chances of getting bail are generally low, especially if the investigation is ongoing and there is no evidence in favour of the accused. The court will consider various factors, such as the severity of the offence, the age of the victim, the evidence available, the possibility of the accused tampering with the evidence or influencing the witnesses, and the likelihood of the accused absconding if released on bail.
 
In general, the courts are usually very cautious while granting bail in POCSO cases as the offence is considered heinous and the victim is a child. The courts may even consider the mere allegation of the offence as strong evidence against the accused. However, the courts will also take into account the principles of natural justice and the presumption of innocence in favour of the accused.

Though the chances of getting bail in POCSO cases from sessions court is not high but there is a good chance that bail will be granted as there is no evidence.
Bail is the rule and jail is the exception. No undertrial accused can be kept in jail till infinity as he is innocent until proven guilty!!
Further, conclusive advice can be given after going through the FIR and deducing the evidence.
