Court Decision Summary The High Court of Judicature at Bombay dismissed the criminal appeal of Datta S/o. Vishnu Gongane, who was convicted under Section 4 of the POCSO Act for sexually assaulting a minor. The court rejected arguments that the charge was defective, that the victim's age was unproven, and that the prosecution case lacked corroboration. The court upheld the conviction based on the victim's credible testimony, corroborating evidence from school and Anganwadi records confirming the victim's date of birth as 27.02.2005, and DNA analysis establishing the appellant as the biological father of the child born to the victim, finding conviction sustainable on solitary testimony when it inspires confidence. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
