NEW DELHI: The Delhi High Court has refused to quash an FIR in a case of cruelty towards a minor and said such crimes against children affect the society's conscience at large and can't be merely treated as private disputes.

Cruelty to children affects conscience of society': HC

In June 2023, the child's mother alleged that her child was physically abused by her neighbours, namely, Amit and his wife Surestha, who beat him up and subjected him to electric shocks.

Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma in an order on July 3 said though the child's mother and the accused persons settled the matter among themselves, such acts not only impacted the victim but also raised broader concerns of public interest, safety and protection of children.

The accused had moved court for quashing of the FIR registered in 2023 on cruelty charges at Govindpuri Police Station in the capital.
