The Delhi High Court overturned the acquittal of Deepak for sexually assaulting a minor girl in 2014. The Trial Court had wrongly discarded the victim's birth certificate (showing she was 15 years old) based on speculative reasoning about delayed registration, and then improperly applied a consent defense despite the POCSO Act rendering minor consent legally irrelevant. The High Court reinstated conviction under IPC Sections 363/366/342 and POCSO Act Section 6, citing DNA evidence and the victim's testimony, and held that once a minor's age is established, consent inquiries become legally meaningless. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
