The Bombay High Court quashed a POCSO case against a 52-year-old man accused by his niece, following submissions that the complaint arose from a misunderstanding. The minor victim and her family expressed no objection to continuing the case. The court imposed a Rs 1.5 lakh cost on the complainant, directing the amount be used to purchase a laptop to support her studies, with any excess funds allocated to a welfare fund. The case involved allegations of inappropriate conduct by the uncle, which were later retracted.
