No. 93/2024 arising out of LTI Case No. 20/2021 under Section 6 of the POCSO Act, 2012.
3. The applicant/appellant has preferred an appeal under Section 415(2)
of BNSS, 2023 before this Hon'ble Court assailing the legality and validity of the impugned Judgment dated 06.12.2024 and Sentencing Order dated 09.12.2024 passed by the Ld. Special Judge, POCSO Act, Siaha District, Mizoram, Siaha in Crl. Trl. No. 93/2021 arising out of LTI Case No. 20/2021 convicting the accused/appellant to suffer Rigorous Imprisonment for 20 years and a fine of Rs. 50,000/- (rupees fifty thousand) u/s 6 of POCSO Act and in default of fine to suffer sentence of Simple Imprisonment for 5 months.
4. The brief facts of the case are that the respondent No. 2 had lodged an FIR before the Officer-in-Charge of Lawngtlai Police Station on 12.04.2021 stating that the appellant took her granddaughter, i.e., the victim ‘X’, into his vehicle to get water at the outskirts of Hmawngbu village on dates 08.02.2021 & 09.02.2021, and the appellant had committed penetrative sexual assault upon the victim ‘X’ and as a result, the victim got pregnant. Accordingly, Lawngtlai PS Case No. 20/2021 dated 12.04.2021 u/s 376(3) IPC r/w Section 6 of POCSO Act, 2012 was registered. Consequently, the case I.O. submitted Chargesheet against the appellant. Thereafter, the case was endorsed for trial before the court of Special Judge, POCSO Act at Siaha District.
5. Having perused the evidence on record including the evidence of the victim, we are of the view that suspension of sentence is not called for at this stage.
