Child rape inexcusable, no mercy can be shown to convict: HC
While upholding the life sentence awarded to a man for raping a minor girl, the Delhi High Court observed that child rape is "inexcusable" and no mercy can be shown to the convict. It added that raping a minor showed the "depravity" ingrained in the psyche of the perpetrator and "removal of such elements from the societal fabric" is necessary.
