Minor Girl's Claim Of Being 18+ Or Aadhar Showing Her As Major Doesn't Help Case Of Accused Booked Under POCSO Act: HP High Court

The Himachal Pradesh High Court has denied bail to a "major accused" in a "POCSO Act" case, despite a "minor girl's claim of being 18" and an "Aadhar card" to support it. The court's decision, which is a significant victory for the government, was made on the grounds that the person's claim was not supported by evidence. The ruling clarifies that a person cannot be charged with a crime for a mere professional dealing.
