the High Court observed that there can never be more shocking heinous crime when a father is charged for committing sexual assault on his own daughter.
“In cases involving adolescents or young adults, especially where the relationship is not formally sanctioned by families, legal proceedings may become a proxy for familial disapproval rather than a genuine invocation of victimhood.”
The Court said that the Trial Court had rightly convicted the appellant under Sections 366, 376(2)(n), 370-A and 506 of the IPC, as it was successfully established by the Prosecution that the victim was a minor and the statement of the victim was clear, cogent, trustworthy.
The Court also directed the Medical Panel to conduct an ossification test of the minor.
