德里高等法院规则禁止在POCSO案件中反复传唤受害儿童,以防止心理伤害和确保及时审判。 Delhi High Court rules against repeatedly summoning child victims in POCSO cases to prevent psychological harm and ensure timely trials.

2026年3月14日,德里高等法院裁定,在POCSO案件中多次传唤受害儿童,造成严重的心理伤害,侵犯了儿童的权利。 The Delhi High Court ruled on March 14, 2026, that repeatedly summoning child victims in POCSO cases causes severe psychological harm and violates their rights. Swarana Kanta Sharma法官强调,法院必须防止再次受害,办法是在几次开庭中高效率地记录儿童证词,尽可能利用电视会议,避免在最初提出反对意见后出现不必要的外貌——例如在保释听证会上。 Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma emphasized that courts must prevent re-victimization by recording child testimony efficiently in few sessions, using video-conferencing when possible, and avoiding unnecessary appearances—such as at bail hearings—after initial objections are submitted. 法院援引第33(5)条禁止多次传票,第35条要求在一年内结束审判,指示所有德里审判法院和特别法庭统一遵守这些保障措施,以保护易受伤害的儿童证人。 The court cited Section 33(5) prohibiting repeated summonses and Section 35 requiring trials to conclude within a year, directing all Delhi trial and special courts to follow these safeguards uniformly to protect vulnerable child witnesses.
