Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision affirming the trial court's rejection of the accused's application to exhibit a compact disc as evidence, citing Section 354 IPC and Sections 4/12 of the POCSO Act. The Court emphasized the right of the accused to adduce evidence in defense but found that the trial court acted within its discretion in denying the application, as the evidence sought was deemed unnecessary for the trial. The appeal was dismissed, maintaining the integrity of the ongoing proceedings against the accused for sexual offenses against a minor.
