The Kerala High Court in a recent judgement underlined the importance of providing home-cooked meals for children while hearing a case concerning an offence relating to pornography.
The court advised parents to deter them from ordering food from restaurants like Swiggy and Zomato.
While hearing the case, the high court quashed criminal charges against a man who was arrested by police from roadside for watching porn on his mobile, ruling that watching pornography in private, without sharing or exhibiting it to others, will not be considered an offense under Section 292 of the IPC.
Justice PV Kunhikrishnan advised parents to persuade their children to play outdoors and have delicious food cooked by their mothers instead of allowing them for ordering food through mobile apps like Swiggy and Zomato.
The Kerala High Court stated, “Instead of purchasing food from restaurants through ‘swiggy’ and ‘zomato’, let the children taste the delicious food made by their mother and let the children play on playgrounds at that time and come back home to the mesmerizing smell of mother’s food.”
Meanwhile, the judge raised a cautionary note for parents concerning the potential dangers associated with giving mobile phones to their minor children without proper supervision.
The court underscored the ease with which explicit content, including pornographic videos, can be accessed through mobile phones with internet connectivity.
