The Delhi High Court has modified the conviction of a medical practitioner accused of sexually assaulting a 9-year-old girl, ruling that the act of rubbing one’s private parts against a child without penetration constitutes “Aggravated Sexual Assault” under Section 9(m) of the POCSO Act, and not “Aggravated Penetrative Sexual Assault” under Section 6. Justice Chandrasekharan
Rubbing Private Parts Against Minor Constitutes Aggravated Sexual Assault, Not Penetrative Assault; Delhi HC Reduced Doctor’s Sentence
