Karnataka High Court Quashes POCSO Case Against Father and Family Amid Matrimonial Dispute
The Karnataka High Court quashed a POCSO case against a father and his family, filed by the mother amid a matrimonial dispute over their minor daughter. The court noted the child’s innocence should not be used in parental conflicts and found medical evidence inconclusive, with doctors reporting non-specific clinical findings and no medico-legal examination conducted. The case arose after the mother alleged discomfort in the child following visitation, but the court ruled the allegations appeared to be an abuse of legal process.
