Supreme Court urges POCSO law reform to protect teens in genuine relationships from misuse.
The Supreme Court has urged the central government to introduce a "Romeo-Juliet" clause in the POCSO Act to prevent misuse in genuine adolescent relationships, emphasizing that the law is increasingly exploited to settle personal scores.
In a ruling, the court set aside a high court order requiring medical age tests at bail, stating such actions exceed judicial authority and violate procedural fairness.
Justices Sanjay Karol and N Kotiswar Singh stressed that age determination should occur during trial, not bail, and called for legislative reform to balance child protection with due process.
The judgment highlights concerns over wrongful prosecutions and urges ethical conduct from legal professionals.
