casestatus.in Summary

Case Summary: Satish Mehra v. Delhi Administration The Supreme Court quashed proceedings and discharged appellant Satish Mehra of charges under IPC Sections 354 and 376 (sexual abuse of his minor daughter). The court found insufficient ground to proceed to trial, noting: US police investigated identical allegations and found them baseless; the wife's complaint to Delhi police made no mention of abuse occurring in India; medical evidence showed contradictions; and the child's interrogation by CAW Cell was improperly leading. The court emphasized that proceeding to trial would traumatize the child witness without reasonable prospect of conviction. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
