Discussion
Under Section 23 of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act what restriction is placed on the media ?
Answer: B
The media cannot publish name, address, photograph, or any detail revealing identity of the child.
Section 23 of the POCSO Act forbids any report or presentation in any media that discloses the identity of the child, including name, address, photograph, family details, school or neighbourhood, unless the Special Court permits it in the child's interest.
The Act does not ban all coverage of the case, does not limit the bar to the period before trial ends, and protects the child's identity, not the accused's.
