Delhi court rules actions against minor girl don't meet POCSO's sexual assault threshold but can be tried under IPC.
The Delhi High Court ruled that touching a minor girl's lips and lying next to her does not meet the legal threshold for aggravated sexual assault under the POCSO Act without overt sexual intent.
However, such actions can be prosecuted under the Indian Penal Code for assault or criminal force with intent to outrage modesty.
The court discharged the accused uncle of a 12-year-old from POCSO charges but upheld charges under Section 354 of the IPC.
