Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the convictions of the appellants under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act, specifically Section 12 against A-1 for sexual harassment and Section 506 IPC against A-2 for criminal intimidation. The Court emphasized that the actions of A-1 constituted a clear violation of the POCSO Act, and A-2's threats exacerbated the victim's distress. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the sentences of three years and two years rigorous imprisonment respectively, along with fines.
