The Supreme Court’s landmark POCSO judgement
Update: 2024-09-30
Description
On 23 September 2024, a Division Bench of Chief Justice D.Y. Chandrachud and Justice J.B. Pardiwala held that viewing, possession and storage of material depicting minors engaged in sexual activity constitutes an offence under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act, 2012 (‘POCSO Act’).
This judgement stands out globally, as most countries still do not have clear laws that explicitly criminalise viewing and possession of ‘child pornography.’
