POCSO Act | Survivor’s Credible Testimony Alone Sufficient for Conviction Without Corroboration: Meghalaya HC
The Meghalaya High Court ruled that a minor survivor’s consistent and unshaken testimony, supported by medical evidence and sibling corroboration, is sufficient to secure a conviction under the POCSO Act, even without formal corroboration. The court also upheld the addition of Section 377 IPC under Section 216 CrPC, reinforcing the principle that survivor testimony can stand alone if credible.
