POCSO: Victim’s contradictory statements cannot form the basis for quashing criminal proceedings but Trial court must careful on misusing this Act
POCSO is an individual crime further related parties were married and having a child together hence the case is quashed
No immediate complaint was made and the hymen was intact therefore the conviction and sentence under Section 9(m) read with Section 10 of POCSO cannot be upheld
DNA evidence: The court cannot rely on the DNA report if the prosecution fails to prove when the blood was taken from the accused for comparison
Remember me
