Citations from SC & Allahabad HC on false POCSO & defective Police Investigation

I am looking for reported judgments from the SC & Allahabad HC in relation to POCSO cases covering the following issues:

1. Cases where the police conducted a deliberately false, biased, or perfunctory investigation, or failed to investigate material facts, resulting in undue support to the complainant.

2 Cases where a POCSO complaint was found to be false or motivated, particularly where the complainant acted under the influence or instigation of third parties (such as teachers, relatives, or others) for ulterior motives.

Please provide:
> Case name and citation
> Court and year

Only specific case law is requested; general opinions are not required.

- Supreme Court in the matter of Babubhai versus State of Gujarat , and also in Kashmeri Devi Vs. Delhi Administration & Anr. (2010) 12 SCC 254, , held that ,Investigation must be fair, transparent and judicious. A fair investigation is a part of the constitutional rights guaranteed under Articles 20 and 21 of the Constitution.

- Further, under section 27 of the POCSO Act , the age proof of child is mandatory , and as per section 94 of this Act the age proof should be either a birth certificate , SLC or a Medical examination for the calculation of the age of the victim, and only a complaint by the parents or third party is not enough.

- You should go through the charge sheet to get the ground for judgement

1) e: X vs. The State of Uttar Pradesh[2026 INSC 44

The SC cancelled bail granted by the Allahabad HC, noting that the HC ignored material evidence, the gravity of the offence, and the vulnerability of the victim. The SC held that bail granted mechanically in POCSO cases, ignoring evidence to support the accused, is "manifestly perverse."
: Investigative apathy and failure to consider victim testimony regarding threats (due to the accused's local influence) cannot be overlooked.

2)Aman @ Vansh vs. State of U.P. & Another (Allahabad High Court, 2024)

false depiction of victims as minors is an abuse of process. The court highlighted that investigating officers "deliberately" avoid immediate medical age determination to falsely implicate individuals under strict POCSO provisions.
