Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court directed the registration of an FIR under Sections 376-C, 376-D, and 376(2)(n) of the Indian Penal Code, emphasizing the obligation of law enforcement to act on allegations of sexual offenses, particularly against minors. The Court held that the failure to register the FIR and investigate the case constituted a violation of the petitioner's rights under Article 21 of the Constitution. The Court also mandated appropriate departmental action against police officers for their inaction in this matter.
