New Delhi: The Top Court on Monday overturned the Madras High Court order that downloading and watching child pornography is not an offence, and ruled that mere storage of such material is a crime under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act (POCSO Act).
"The HC committed an error in its order and thus we set aside the HC order and we remit the matter back to the sessions court," said Justice JB Pardiwala, according to Bar and Bench.
