The Bombay High Court (HC) on Monday called it "too far-fetched" to believe a father's claim that his minor daughter had accused him of rape merely out of anger, news agency PTI reported.

A division bench of Justices Manish Pitale and Shreeram Shirsat dismissed the man's appeal and upheld the life sentence imposed by a Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) court that convicted him of repeatedly raping his minor daughter.
