POCSO Act | Consent of Minor Irrelevant for Offense; Bail Granted Where No Force or Flight Risk Established : Rajasthan HC
Rajasthan High Court rules that under the POCSO Act, the consent of a minor (17-year-old prosecutrix) does not absolve the accused of liability. Bail was granted based on the absence of force, corroborated victim statements, and no flight risk, reinforcing that POCSO offenses are strict liability regardless of consent.
