CrPC Section 227 | Prima Facie Case Suffices for Framing Charges; Digital Evidence Linkage Without Physical Recovery Valid : HP HC
HP High Court clarifies that framing charges under CrPC 227 requires only a prima facie case, not corroboration by recovered evidence. Witness testimony linking an accused to digital content-even if the original video is not recovered from their device-is sufficient to proceed with charges under POCSO and IT Act.
