💨 Abstract

The Madras High Court reversed a lower court judgment that acquitted an accused of charges under the POCSO Act, sentencing him to 10 years Simple Imprisonment. The case involved a minor girl, 17 at the time, who was in a relationship with her neighbor, the accused. After her parents found out, the girl eloped with the accused and was later returned home.
