Where are we heading to?! The Supreme Court has said a man cannot be convicted of rape and penetrative sexual assault, when the allegation is only of touching the private organs of the minor girl. A bench of Justices Ahsanuddin Amanullah and Joymalya Bagchi modified the conviction of appellant, Laxman Jangde, from the offences under Section 376 AB of the IPC and under Section 6 of the POCSO Act, to those under Section 354 of the IPC and under Section 10 of the POCSO Act.
