The Uttarakhand High Court has expressed displeasure over a lower court's decision to convict Rampal in a POCSO case without sufficient evidence, leading to his release on bail.
A division bench, including Chief Justice G Narender, emphasized that the absence of evidence was troubling, noting that the location of the alleged crime was not determined.
Despite the lack of eyewitness testimony and inconclusive medical reports, the lower court found Rampal guilty, a decision the high court found unsatisfactory.
