POCSO Act

The Uttarakhand High Court has ordered the acquittal of a person convicted for sexually assaulting and attempting to rape a two and-a-half-year-old girl, because of absence of credible evidence.

The ex-minister had just been granted interim bail by the Allahabad high Court for a two-month period on medical grounds. The case dates back to 2017. Prajapati was again arrested by Lucknow police yesterday, for allegedly striking a deal with the alleged survivor to drop the charges.

The Kerala High Court has issued detailed guidelines for investigation and trial of POCSO cases, including special training to officers so they are sensitized in dealing with such sensitive cases.

Delhi Court has stayed the publication of a book titled ‘Gunning for the Godman: The story behind Asaram Bapu’s conviction.’

The victim in the rape case against Pranav Pandya, the Gayatri Mission Kunj chief, has appealed to the Supreme Court for a transfer of the case from Uttarakhand to Delhi.
