Live Law  

While dismissing a man's appeal against conviction for sexually assaulting a 13-year-old girl, the Delhi High Court has observed that courts cannot expect witnesses in sexual assault cases to recount case details in same words every time. “…the economic, financial and educational background of victim, the trauma they have faced due to sexual assault and giving birth to child of accused can, at no point of time, be ignored by the courts.” The FIR was registered against the appellant under Sections 376/506 IPC and 4/6 of the POCSO Act, based on an allegation that he had committed sexual assault upon the victim. “…it is very unfortunate that the victim of sexual assault had given birth to a child born due to the sexual assault while she was only 14-15 years of age. Being a sexual assault victim forced to give birth to the child of the accused, she would have undergone unfathomable pain, trauma, and stress.
