Ernakulam: In a recent case concerning an offense related to pornography, the Kerala High Court underscored the significance of providing home-cooked meals to children. During the proceedings, the court also offered advice to parents, urging them to refrain from ordering food through popular delivery platforms like Swiggy and Zomato.
The case before the high court involved the quashing of criminal charges against an individual arrested for viewing explicit content on his mobile phone while in a private setting. The court ruled that watching obscene photographs or videos in private would not fall under the purview of Section 292 of the Indian Penal Code, which pertains specifically to circulating and publicly exhibiting such material.
Justice PV Kunhikrishnan, in his judgment, took the opportunity to provide guidance to parents. He encouraged parents to promote outdoor play for their children and to prepare and serve delicious homemade meals instead of relying on online food delivery services like Swiggy and Zomato.
The judge expressed concern about parents giving mobile phones with internet access to their minor children as gifts, cautioning them about the potential risks. Justice Kunhikrishnan stressed the importance of parental supervision, suggesting that children should watch informative content and news on their parents' mobile phones under their guidance.
Furthermore, he emphasized that allowing unsupervised mobile phone use among children could expose them to various dangers, including accessing inappropriate and explicit content.

Bengaluru (PTI): A 30-year-old woman died after she was hit by a luxury car being driven by a youth, who was allegedly under the influence of alcohol, police said on Tuesday.
Dhanush (20) was arrested, they said, adding that he has been sent to judicial custody.
According to police, Sandhya A S was crossing the road near the Kengeri TTMC (Traffic and Transit Management Centre) on the busy Mysuru Road on Saturday when she was hit by the Mercedes Benz car which then crashed into a bike.
