“The respondent no.2 (survivor) in the FIR has asserted that the candidate had sex with her on different occasions when she was only 16 years of age. The respondent no. 2 likewise got pregnant because of this explanation,” the court noted.

 

“The charges as evened out by the respondent no. 2 are serious in nature. The simple reality that the respondent no. 2 got hitched with the solicitor in this way doesn’t involve suppress of FIR. The current FIR relates to offenses culpable under segment 376 IPC and segment 6 of the POCSO Act which are serious in nature,” it said in a new request.

Baba Haridas Nagar alongside important procedures including legal actions …can’t be suppressed,” the court closed. ‘
