The Chhattisgarh High Court recently said that every abduction of a minor girl cannot be regarded as an offence under Section 366 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC). The division bench of Chief Justice Ramesh Sinha and Justice Ravindra Kumar Agrawal further said that the ingredients of such an offence must be corroborated by the victim's statement, as well as medical and forensic evidence on record so that the intention of the accused is established. The court observed while hearing a case which involved the kidnapping of a 14-year-old minor girl multiple times. The state's top court stated that the prosecution was unable to prove the offence of sexual assault as alleged, which could have satisfied the requirement under Section 366 IPC. HC on Impotency: Chhattisgarh High Court Dismisses Man's Plea Challenging Family Court Order, Says 'Husband's Impotency Sufficient Reason for Wife To Reside Separately'.
