Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court, in a writ petition under Article 32, directed the registration of an FIR under Sections 376-C, 376-D, and 376(2)(n) IPC, and emphasized the necessity for prompt action by law enforcement in cases of sexual offenses against minors, particularly under the POCSO Act. The Court held that the failure to register an FIR and investigate the allegations constituted a violation of the petitioner's rights, necessitating intervention. The Court also mandated departmental action against police officers for their inaction in this matter.
