Allowing sexual offence victim to testify virtually not against accused's fair trial: Delhi high court
Friday, 29 December 2023
Delhi High Court upholds trial court decision not to seek physical presence of foreign gang-rape victim; two-way video-conferencing ensures participation of all and follows principles of criminal justice system; denying video-conferencing would deny victim access to justice; psychological impact of sexual assault on victim considered; virtual examination of vulnerable witnesses available; vulnerability not based on financial or educational background; trauma of testifying in foreign country justifies video-conferencing; trial court did not err in issuing summons to victim.
