Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court emphasized the importance of The Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act, 2012 (POCSO Act) in safeguarding children and young adults from sexual offenses. The court highlighted the need for effective implementation of the law and the establishment of supportive frameworks to ensure justice for victims. The judgment underscores that mere enactment of laws is insufficient without a commitment to their enforcement and the protection of vulnerable individuals.
