HC dismisses case against woman for not reporting husband's abuse
The Daily Guardian
|September 19, 2024
The Delhi High Court has closed the criminal proceedings against a woman for failing to report the alleged sexual assault on her 16-year-old daughter by her husband, observing that the woman too was a victim of severe abuse in her matrimonial home. The minor was allegedly sexually assaulted by her father on several occasions and also beaten up by him.
-
Justice Anish Dayal set aside the charges framed against the woman under section 21 (punishment for failure to report or record a case) of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act and said such a proceeding would cause grave prejudice to her as well as her daughter, who is solely dependent on her for support.
