💨 Abstract
The Delhi High Court has ruled that delay in reporting a minor's sexual assault due to trauma or social oppression is not an offense under the POCSO Act. The court set aside the prosecution of a woman who delayed reporting her 10-year-old daughter's sexual assault by her father and cousins, as the POCSO law does not intend to criminalize delayed reporting in a state of duress.
