POCSO

POCSO (Protection of Children from Sexual Offences)

The Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act, 2012 is a special law in India enacted to safeguard children against sexual abuse, sexual harassment, and exploitation. Cases under POCSO are highly sensitive and require careful handling to protect the rights and welfare of the child, while also ensuring a fair trial for the accused.
