    CASE SUMMARY: Crl.A. No. 38/2024 The High Court of Meghalya dismissed the appellant's appeal and upheld the conviction for aggravated penetrative sexual assault under POCSO Act Section 6 and criminal intimidation under IPC Section 506. The court rejected arguments that contradictions in the survivor's statements and intact hymen meant insufficient proof, holding that minor discrepancies don't undermine otherwise credible victim testimony in sexual assault cases and that slight penetration suffices under law. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
