Original Note:

Clearly stated in the quoted article: the creation of child pornography remains an offence. https://www.thepublica.com/high-court-of-india-rules-that-viewing-downloading-child-pornography-is-not-a-criminal-offense/ https://www.opindia.com/2024/04/merely-downloading-watching-pornography-not-an-offence-supreme-court/ https://indianexpress.com/article/india/supreme-court-children-pornographic-materials-9280115/
