💨 Abstract

The Supreme Court of India ruled that viewing, distributing, or displaying child pornographic material online can attract punishment under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act. The court stated that Section 15 of POCSO applies when sexually explicit content involving children is found in a person's possession, regardless of whether the material has been downloaded or not.
