Ten thousand only), in default to pay fine, to suffer Simple Imprisonment for the period of 01 month.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The facts in the present case are such that a minor victim girl aged 15 years was continuously being followed by the accused offering her pen and book. His advances were regularly refused by the victim girl but in spite of that the accused kept following her and offering her articles to initiate contact. She went and complained to her mother who thereby went and registered the said FIR.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court noted that based on the evidence put on record before the Court, the accused has followed the victim girl repeatedly and he has tried to contact her by offering a pen and book. The victim girl was a minor at the relevant time, and therefore, the provisions of POCSO Act are applicable in the present matter. There is a presumption under section 30 of the POCSO Act about the culpable mental state on the part of the accused.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court further noted that said act of the accused shows that he has sexual intent and therefore he has followed the 15 years old girl and was offering pen and book only to interact with her and to develop the relationship by offering the articles.<b> It was the process of grooming the child for his sexual intent.<\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">Thus, the Court convicted the accused for the offense punishable under Section <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001561672\">354-D(1)(i)<\/a> of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0002726960\">IPC<\/a>, however, no separate sentence is passed, as the accused is convicted and sentenced under Section 11 punishable under Section 12 of the POCSO Act, which is a similar offense under the Special Act.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">[<span style=\"font-weight: bold; color: #632423;\">State of Maharashtra v.
