The Delhi High Court has dismissed the interim bail application of a woman accused in a child trafficking and forgery case, citing the ongoing nature of parental responsibilities. Justice Girish Kathpalia rejected the plea on April 15, stating that the reasons provided were too generic and did not justify her release while facing serious criminal charges. The woman, a single mother, argued that she needed to care for her two children, who are at critical educational stages. However, the court found no merit in her argument, emphasizing that the need for parental care does not diminish over time. The prosecution highlighted the serious nature of the charges, which are under the scrutiny of the Supreme Court. In a contrasting case, the court had previously granted bail to another woman based on her two-year-old child's medical needs, illustrating the court's consideration of specific circumstances when evaluating bail applications.
