Allahabad High Court Acquits Doctor in POCSO Case Involving Daughter
The Allahabad High Court acquitted a Uttarakhand cardiologist previously convicted under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act for allegedly assaulting his minor daughter. The court noted the need for caution when considering child witness evidence in cases involving parental disputes, suggesting the child may be influenced by one parent against the other. The doctor had been jailed for over one-and-a-half years following a 2018 complaint by his wife, who had accused him of the assault.
