Justice W. Diengdoh remarked that: “Any act of sexual assault or sexual harassment to children should be viewed seriously. Following investigation, a chargesheet was filed on April 24, 2026, alleging a prima facie case under Sections 9(f), 9(l), 9(m) and 10 of the POCSO Act. The Court, upon examining the material on record, particularly the statement of the survivor, found that a prima facie case of sexual assault had been made out against both accused. It noted that the chargesheet had also recorded that a prima facie case under the relevant provisions of the POCSO Act was established. Thus, the High Court concluded that the bail applications lacked merit and dismissed both petitions.
