Abetment: Bombay HC Acquits Mother Of Minor Victim In POCSO Case

02 Oct 2019 07:53 pm

The Bombay High Court acquitted one Asha Patil, mother of an 11-year-old girl from Nashik who was sexually assaulted by her stepfather Sagar Rathi.

Justice AM Badar heard the criminal appeal filed by Asha against a judgment of the trial court convicting her under Section 17 of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act 2012 along with her husband Sagar. The trial court concluded that she was guilty of "abetment by illegal omission as well as intentional aid."

The court concluded that Asha was not aiding the accused Sagar in the commission of the crime, hence in the absence of mens rea, offence of abetment cannot be sustained.
