X vs Rajesh Kumar 2025 INSC 579 - POCSO Act - Teacher - Student
Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act, 2012 - Section 7 - According to FIR allegations, the accused would hold the hands of female students in the computer lab while using the mouse - SC held: clearly falls within the ambit of `any other act with sexual intent which involves physical contact’. In the context of a teacher-student relationship, where the teacher is in a position of authority and trust, such physical contact, when accompanied by other inappropriate behavior including asking invasive questions about sanitary napkins and sending vulgar images, provides sufficient basis to infer sexual intent for the purpose of proceeding with trial.
