CHENNAI: “An infatuation of two adolescents had been given criminal colour and one of them has been penalized. Punishing the minor boy who enters into a relationship with a minor girl who were in the grips of their hormones and biological changes which is otherwise normative development in the children, is against the principles of the best interest of the child.”
So saying, the Madras high court has quashed three-year detention ordered under the Pocso Act by a juvenile justice board against a 15-year-old boy.
