Main Body
The POCSO, 2012 Act has registered 2.4 lakh + cases till 2022 CNCRF data , yet falls short of objectives.
Success of POCSO, 2012:
1Framework for complaint = 2.4 lakh+ till 2022
2Punitive measure against perpetrators
3Provisions for Fast Track courts = early justice
4Uniform legal mechanism = to see ancestral to gender neutrality help in equal weight = clause against harassment is igneous news.
yet, falls short:-
1Limited awareness = could not limit some against
2Could not address some =
children = Eg Bihare sheltersome worst case awareness
wait case
3Delay in justice = limited capacity of Fast Track Court.
4Juvenile delinquency burden = Eg Allahabad Bais Jduure room = young boys aging girls
5Penalize consensual adolescent relations = weaponise appropriation of law
6Narrow in scope of definition of "child" = discrepancy with other laws (new need in BNS)

8Could not address new age crimes = Eg children's displaces
