The Court further observed that the accused being an elderly person should have advised and instructed others not to commit such a heinous offence, or he should have brought to the notice of elders of the village to prevent it. Instead, he committed sexual assault which was outrageous.<\/p>\n<h3>Background<\/h3>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The case was filed following a complaint by the victim&#8217;s mother after a doctor at a government hospital informed her that the victim, her 14-year-old minor daughter, was pregnant.
