Children, POCSO, Sexual offences, NCRB, WomenAbstract
Law is to control the behavior of human beings. As the behavior of human being deviates, the legislature enacts the laws. Children are supposed to be a very vulnerable group of the society and need special protection. Legislature has enacted a special law to protect the children from sexual offences known as, the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act, in the year 2012 and provide stringent punishment for the offender. Despite the Act of 2012, it is surprised to know that the figures released by NCRB shows enormous increase in the sexual offences committed under POCSO Act, 2012. To make sure the implementation of POCSO Act, the Court should adopt a child friendly atmosphere while dealing with the cases registered under this Act and Court should decide the cases registered under POCSO without any kind of delay.
