The Supreme Court on Wednesday stressed that a minor survivor of sexual assault should not be repeatedly called to testify before the trial court.
A bench headed by Justice Sudhanshu Dhulia said that the child who has suffered a traumatic experience of sexual offence should not be called time and again to testify about the same incident.
The court was hearing a plea challenging the orders of the High Court of Orissa and the Additional Sessions Judge-cum-Special Court under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act, Nayagarh, which denied recalling a minor survivor for re-examination as a witness.
