Community service saves the day for Pocso accused

The Court directed the accused to perform one month of community service at Lok Nayak Jai Prakash Narayan Hospital and deposit ₹50,000 with the "Army Welfare Fund Battle Casualties."

Justice Sanjeev Narula passed the order in a case involving allegations of harassment and exploitation of a minor school-going girl.

The Court stated that although it was initially not inclined to quash the FIR in a "perfunctory manner," it changed its view after a "detailed and careful interaction" with the complainant and her mother. During the hearing, both made it clear that they had "consciously chosen to move on from the incident."
