The National Commission for Women (NCW) has moved the Supreme Court challenging the Bombay High Court verdict which had said that groping a minor s breast without skin to skin contact cannot be termed as sexual assault as defined under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act. A bench headed by Chief Justice S A Bobde had on January 27 stayed the high court s verdict after Attorney General K K Venugopal had mentioned the matter before it and said that the judgment was unprecedented and was likely to set a dangerous precedent. The top court had also issued notice to Maharashtra government and permitted the Attorney General to file an appeal against the January 19 verdict of the Nagpur bench of the Bombay High Court.
