The court denied the police's petition to close the sexual assault case against R Veeramani under the POCSO Act.
The police filed an application seeking the closure of the sexual assault case registered against R Veeramani under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act. The petition argued that the evidence was insufficient to proceed further.
A bench of the POCSO court examined the request and rejected it, stating that the allegations merit a full investigation and that the interests of the alleged victim must be safeguarded.
With the court’s order, the investigation will continue, and the accused remains under scrutiny pending further legal proceedings. The decision underscores the judiciary’s commitment to uphold child protection laws even when law enforcement agencies seek case closure.
