PoCSO Section 6 | Credible Child Testimony Alone Suffices for Conviction Even Without Hymen Rupture or Forensic Evidence: Delhi HC
The Delhi High Court affirmed that a child victim's credible testimony is sufficient to prove penetrative sexual assault under Section 6 of the PoCSO Act, regardless of the absence of physical or forensic corroboration. This ruling reinforces the legal recognition of children's testimonial reliability and reduces undue reliance on outdated medical indicators, significantly impacting prosecution strategies in child sexual abuse cases.
