The Court further underscored that in POSCO cases, the ordeal of survivors is often aggravated by the lack of support and handholding in the days that follow. Such support is required if true justice is to be meted, the Court said.
“Justice can be said to have been approximated only when the victims are brought back to society, made to feel secure, their worth and dignity, restored. Without this, justice is an empty phrase, an illusion. The POCSO Rules 2020, offer an effective framework in this regard, it is now left to the State as the biggest stakeholder in it – to ensure its strict implementation, in letter and spirit,” the Court noted.
