Delhi High Court:<\/strong> A Single Judge Bench comprising of Vinod Goel, J, upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 10 of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act, 2012.<\/p>\n

The appellant had raised a question as to admissibility of the minor victims\/witnesses\u2019 testimonies. The Court relied on Panchhi<\/em> v. State of UP<\/em>, (1998) 7 SCC 177<\/a> where it was held that it cannot be said that a child witness\u2019 evidence would always stand irretrievably stigmatized. A child witness\u2019 evidence does not get automatically rejected, it must however, be evaluated more carefully, since a child is more susceptible to tutoring.<\/p>\n

The cross-examination revealed no material inconsistencies between the testimonies of the child witnesses and other witnesses. Hence, appeal dismissed. [Hans Raj @ Bhola v. State, 2017 SCC OnLine Del 10589<\/a>, decided on 21.09.2017]<\/p>\n
