Kerala High Court — Sexual-assault case involving a minor 

Ernakulam: The Kerala High Court considered a case involving allegations of sexual assault of a minor by her father. The Court held that such a criminal case cannot simply be settled or withdrawn by the mother, emphasizing the seriousness of offences against children. 

Action to be taken: Authorities should ensure a thorough, impartial investigation, protect the child’s identity and safety, and provide appropriate legal and psychological support. Proceedings should follow the POCSO Act and due process.
