Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court overturned the Bombay High Court's judgment that had reversed the convictions of several accused under various sections of the Indian Penal Code, the Code of Criminal Procedure, and the Juvenile Justice Act. The Court emphasized the importance of protecting children from sexual exploitation, affirming that the High Court's earlier decision failed to adequately consider the evidence of abuse presented. The Court reinstated the convictions, highlighting the need for strict enforcement of laws safeguarding children's rights under the Juvenile Justice Act, 2000.
