Bonafide Intention To Get Her Child Adopted: Karnataka HC Nixes Trafficking Charge Against Woman Booked For Selling Her Child For Rs 15K

The Karnataka High Court quashed a human trafficking case against a mother who sold her daughter due to financial problems, ruling that the prosecution failed to prove the intent to exploit. The court emphasized that financial distress alone does not constitute human trafficking unless there is evidence of exploitation. This decision highlights the need for clear evidence of intent and exploitation in human trafficking cases to ensure that prosecutions are based on solid grounds.
