Bombay HC order in POCSO case outrageous: Attorney General

2 23

Guwahati, August 25 (NKTV): Attorney General for India KK Venugopal yesterday urged the Supreme Court to reverse the Bombay High Court ruling which held that if there is no direct physical contact, i.e. “skin to skin“, no offence of sexual assault can be said to be committed under Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act, 2012.

“The judgment is outrageous and would set a dangerous precedent” the Attorney General told a Bench of Justices which is hearing appeals against the ruling of the Bombay HC.

The Supreme Court had stayed the HC order on January 27.

“If tomorrow, a person wears a pair of surgical gloves and feels the entire body of a woman, he won’t be punished for sexual assault as per this judgment. This is an outrageous order” Venugopal said.
