State Of M.P vs Anoop Singh

The Supreme Court overturned the High Court's acquittal of the accused in a case involving kidnapping and sexual assault under Sections 363, 366, and 376 IPC. The Court held that the prosecution had established the age of the prosecutrix as below 16 years, thus invoking the presumption of consent under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act, 2012. The Supreme Court reinstated the conviction and sentence imposed by the Trial Court, emphasizing the importance of the prosecutrix's age in determining the culpability of the accused.
