1) by means of bone test and dental samples age of minor can be determined

2) you can rely upon call recordings to prove that girl is major and that her father was demanding money from you

3) amicable settlement is best option

4) you can marry the girl if you had phsycial relationship with her under promise of marriage

1. yes, do produce the audio recording to counter her case.

2. Ask for ossification test from the court to scientifically determine her age.

3. if her age is above 15 years then POSCO does not apply.

You cannot settle the case filed under POCSO act. Its non compoundable.

Her father's demand is huge. What does medical examination report of victim say?

1) don't bow down to blackmail tactics

2) refuse to marry the girl

3) if girl was pregnant and had an abortion it should be reflected in her medical records

4) further medical examIntion would reveal if sh was raped or not

First you can obtain anticipatory bail and then plan to quash the FIR on the grounds that you rely upon.

Alternately you may challenge the case in the trial proceedings itself.

The call recordings shall not be permissible as primary evidence before court, however the police may proceed with the investigation based on the call records.

If you interested to marry her then you can very well express your willingness for the same but can ask for assurance from her side that she will not indulge in any avenging acts so that it can be safe to protect your interests.
