The Court on Thursday also organised an awareness workshop on online child sexual exploitation and abuse.
The Supreme Court’s Justice PS Narasimha delivered the presidential address. He said that technology has entered the life of children in an insidious way, and therefore, it is important to teach children how to deal with it.
He said that in recent times, there has been a significant shift in the judiciary’s approach and instead of merely declaring the law, courts have taken a proactive role.
“We (judiciary) are the biggest stakeholders and we see how crime is committed and case after case we see it is not being implemented. The laws are clearly laid down and when we take an extra step and seek to implement the laws. I think the purpose and object of enactment will be accomplished. In this proactive step, you move out in the corridors of the court and seek to implement it and for implementation, you need the help and assistance of others,” he said.
