    Summary of Court Judgment The Special Court (POCSO Act) in Porbandar convicted the accused of sexually assaulting a 15-year-old minor girl, establishing her age through birth certificates and school records. The court rejected the accused's defense of consensual relationship, holding that consent is irrelevant when the victim is under 18 years, and sentenced him to rigorous imprisonment ranging from 7 to life imprisonment under various sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and POCSO Act 2012.
