    Case Summary: Crl.A./294/2024 Court Decision: The Gauhati High Court upheld the conviction and sentence of Jehirul Islam for wrongful restraint (IPC §341), outraging modesty (IPC §354), and sexual assault under POCSO Act §8. The court dismissed his appeal against the trial court's judgment. Key Facts & Reasoning: Islam accosted a 16-17-year-old minor girl on NH37 near Nellie, restrained her by hand, pulled her toward a jungle, caught her chest with sexual intent, and uttered obscene words. Prosecution witnesses—the victim and witness Tapan Deka who intervened—provided consistent, corroborated testimony. The court found no material contradictions and rejected the defense's claims of false implication due to a fish-sale dispute. The evidence proved sexual harassment and outraging of modesty. The sentences (5 years RI + ₹5,000 fine; 4 years RI + ₹5,000 fine; and ₹500 fine) were upheld as appropriate given the aggravated circumstances and the victim's minority status.
