The Supreme Court of India has strongly criticised the Haryana Police and the state’s Child Welfare Committee for their handling of a three-year-old rape survivor’s case, calling their approach “insensitive” and “shameful.”The court took serious exception to the police summoning the minor to the station, instead of officials visiting her, stressing that such conduct violates basic child protection norms.It also flagged concerns over the apparent dilution of charges in the FIR registered under the Pocso Act, noting that the offence appeared to have been downgraded.The bench underscored the need for a child-sensitive approach in cases involving minors and indicated that lapses in procedure would not be taken lightly.
