[14/02, 11:55] Meta AI: The Madras High Court has upheld the conviction of two accused individuals in a POCSO (Protection of Children from Sexual Offences) case, where the same child was the survivor in two separate incidents. The court ruled that a joint trial was justified, as it avoided causing repeated trauma to the child victim by forcing her to testify multiple times.

The court emphasized that the best interest of the child is paramount, not the perpetrator’s. It noted that the accused individuals had committed similar offences against the same minor girl, albeit at different times and places. The court also observed that the trial court had rightly conducted a joint trial, and the accused had not demonstrated any prejudice caused by this procedure. ¹ ² ³

What do you think about this decision? Should joint trials be allowed in such cases to protect the child victim’s interests?
