Courts should not deal with sexual offence cases involving minors mechanically: Delhi HC
Monday, 1 January 2024
The Delhi high court emphasizes that sexual offense cases involving minors are not mere printed papers, but rather a portrayal of the trauma experienced by the victim. The court criticizes the trial court for rejecting a minor victim's plea for preservation of crucial evidence, such as CCTV footage and call data records, due to a discrepancy in her statements. The court highlights the need for sensitivity and empathy towards victims, especially in cases of sexual assault committed by family members.
