POCSO Act | School Records Supersede Contradictory Victim Testimony to Establish Minor Status : Bombay HC
The Bombay High Court held that school records constitute conclusive evidence of a victim's age under the POCSO Act, even when the victim's own testimony contradicts it. This reinforces that documentary proof from official institutions overrides inconsistent oral accounts, ensuring consistent protection for minors regardless of testimonial reliability or lack of medical evidence.
