Rajasekar vs The State Rep. By The Inspector Of Police

The Supreme Court granted leave and partially allowed the appeal of the Appellant convicted under Section 3(a) read with Section 4 of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act, 2012. The Court confirmed the conviction but modified the sentence from ten years rigorous imprisonment to the period already undergone, considering the Appellant's circumstances and contributions to the victim's family. The Court emphasized that the ends of justice would be served by this modification, allowing the Appellant to be set at liberty if not required in any other case.
