No repeated cross-exam for Pocso survivor, says Calcutta HC
The Calcutta High Court has ruled that a trafficking survivor cannot be repeatedly cross-examined, setting aside a trial court order. The court invoked its powers to quash the recall order, stating the trial court had acted without assigning any reason. This decision is hailed as a victory for the voiceless.
