By way of background, the petitioner was working at various households, where he came to be acquainted with the minor girl and they fell in love.
On January 18, 2021, when the girl had gone shopping with her cousin sister, she met the petitioner and both of them then went to his house where he introduced her to his parents. They then went to petitioner’s uncle house where they decided to spend the night and during the stay, they had sexual intercourse.
Next morning, the mother of the minor girl lodged a First Information Report (FIR) against the petitioner under Section 363 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and Sections 3 and 4 of the POCSO Act 2012.
Aggrieved, the petitioner moved the present plea before the High Court to quash the case.
