💨 Abstract

The Delhi High Court has emphasized that minor victims of sexual assault possess independent rights under the law, regardless of parental settlements. In a recent case, a minor girl accused her father of sexual assault, and the mother was charged for not reporting the incident. The court dismissed the father's bail plea, highlighting the grave and distressing situation where the girl allegedly endured parental disputes and sexual violence.
