The Sikkim High Court has overturned the conviction of an appellant under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act. The court noted that a three-year-old child would barely comprehend the nature of the alleged offense, making it implausible she would panic as claimed. The prosecution’s evidence was inconsistent, with various testimonies not corroborating. The court held that the prosecution failed to prove the case beyond a reasonable doubt, leading to the appellant’s acquittal.
