Stalking minor girl despite her clear indication of disinterest: HC upholds conviction under Posco Act

The Nagpur bench of the Bombay High Court ruled that persistent pursuit of a minor by an adult amounts to sexual harassment under the Pocso Act. A 28-year-old man was found guilty of harassing a 13-year-old girl in Amravati, and his appeal was dismissed, affirming his one-year sentence.
