Justice Pardi Wala said the description of the act as CSEAM would more accurately reflect the reality that these images and videos were not merely pornographic but were records of incidents during which children were sexually exploited and abused. The term \u2018Child Pornography\u2019 a misnomer which failed to capture the full extent and horror of the crime. \u201cEach case of what is traditionally termed \u2018Child Pornography\u2019 involves the actual abuse of child. The word \u2018pornography\u2019 is seen as a consensual act between adults. Thus, use of this term in respect of a child can lead to a trivialization of the crime,\u201d the verdict pointed out.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Child_Sexual_Exploitation_is_one_of_the_most_heinous_crimes\"><\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; color: #ca3494; font-size: 14pt;\">Child Sexual Exploitation is one of the most heinous crimes<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">The Bench further said that &#8220;Child sexual exploitation is one of the most heinous crimes imaginable, and the offence of child pornography is equally as heinous, if not more, as in the latter the victimization and exploitation of the child does not end with the initial act of abuse. It in essence turns the singular incident of abuse into a ripple of trauma inducing acts where the rights and dignity of the child is continuously violated each time such material is viewed or shared\u201d.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">\u201cIt continues through its recording, and perpetuated as photographs and videos that float through cyberspace, freely accessible to anyone who has ability to surf the internet&#8230; the knowledge that their abuse is being watched by countless strangers, sometimes years after the actual event, exacerbates those psychological wounds on top of the trauma that was already induced by the act in the first place. This perpetuating violation deprives the victim of any remaining hope or chance to heal, recover from the abuse and find closure,\u201d Justice J.B. Pardi Wala, who authored the 200-page judgment termed as groundbreaking by the Chief Justice, observed.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Lets_know_the_Madras_High_Courts_controversial_Decision\"><\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; color: #ca3494; font-size: 14pt;\">Let\u2019s know the Madras High Court\u2019s controversial Decision<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">The bench held that there is no difference between a CSEAM and the actual act of child sexual abuse, as both of them share a \u2018common intention, malevolent intent. The verdict can be seen because of an appeal filed by NGO, Just Right for Children Alliance and Bachpan Bachao Andolan, against a Madras High Court decision, which held in January that passive possession or storage of child pornographic material was not an offence under the POCSO Act. According to the High Court, a child or children must have been used for pornography purposes to attract charges under the POCSO Act, implying that passive consumption without direct involvement would not constitute a crime. Justice Pardiwala asked while contradicting Madras High Court&#8217;s controversial statement that why the High Court had issued considering section 15 of the POCSO Act, which criminalizes storage, possession and transmission of child pornographic material.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">The Bench also mentioned section 67B of the Information Technology Act, 2000 along with the POCSO Act and stated that the section not only penalized the use, transmission and publication of obscene materials, including child pornography, but made browsing, creation, collection, online facilitation or enactment of children into any sexual act or conduct an offence.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">To make the liability of offenders, the Apex Court evolved the principle of \u2018constructive possession\u2019. According to this, a person was accountable if at any point of time he had an invariable degree of power and knowledge to control, manipulate, alter, modify or destroy the material.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sex_Education_in_India\"><\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt; color: #ca3494;\">Sex Education in India<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">The judgment highlighted the significant misconceptions surrounding sex education in India, which contribute to its inadequate implementation. Many parents and educators harbor conservative views, seeing discussions about sexual health as inappropriate or embarrassing, lamented the bench, adding this societal stigma creates a reluctance to address sexual health openly. It further highlighted evidence showing that comprehensive sex education delays the onset of sexual activity and promotes safer practices among those who are sexually active.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">The court highlighted the statutory obligations under section 43 and 44 of the POCSO Act, which mandate the Central and State Governments, as well as the NCPCR to ensure widespread awareness of the Act through media and to provide training to government officials, including police officers, for its effective implementation. It emphasized and included the provision of sex education and awareness programs in school and other educational settings.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span

class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">The judgment gave detailed suggestions to the Central Government such as &#8211;\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">Parliament should amend the POCSO Act to replace the term \u201cchild pornography\u201d with \u201cChild Sexual Exploitative and Abuse Material (CSEAM).<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">There is need for psychological counselling, therapeutic interventions and educational support for victims to help them heal and reintegrate into society.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">Raising awareness about the realities of CSEAM and its devastating impact is crucial for reducing its prevalence.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">Cordial effort among educators, health care providers, law enforcement and child welfare service to identify individuals with problematic sexual behaviors early and implement intervention strategies.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">Court also suggested to form an expert committee to implement these suggestions.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">Bhuwan Ribhu, petitioner and founder of Just Right for
