The Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act, 2012
Machhi Singh And Others vs State Of Punjab on 20 July, 1983
22. However, looking to the fact that prosecution failed to prove the charges
under Section 5/6 of Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act 2012,
Section 377 or 376AB of IPC, so also looking to the fact that the appellant was
only nineteen years of age at the time of the incident and also the fact that there
is no criminal history or past record of the appellant showing that such
incidents took place even earlier, when we draw a balance sheet of aggravating
and mitigating circumstances in the light of the judgment of Hon'ble Supreme
Court in Machhi Singh and others Vs. State of Punjab reported in (1983) 3
SCC 470, we are of the considered opinion in the light of the judgment of
Hon'ble Supreme Court in Machhi Singh (supra), life cannot be allowed to be
taken as it cannot be said that a nineteen years old boy is beyond reform or is a
hardened criminal.
