A court in Maharashtra's Thane district has upheld a lower court's verdict sentencing a man to three years in jail for sodomising a minor in 1999.

Pravin Kumar Ganesh Lohar (45) was convicted under Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code by a first class magistrate's court in 2007 for sexually assaulting a seven-year-old boy on February 2, 1999.

Lohar later appealed against the judgement in the district court.

On Saturday, Additional Sessions Judge R V Tamhanekar rejected the appeal and upheld the three-year jail term and Rs 10,000 fine ordered by the lower court.
