State of Haryana & Anr.Citation: 2024 LiveLaw (PH) 65The Punjab & Haryana High Court has made it clear that any person knowing about the commission of an offence against a child under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act must inform the police or Special Juvenile Police Unit (SPJU) irrespective of whether the concerned person is a parent of the child or friend.
