During the pendency of the petition, the charge-sheet was submitted in the court.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Court was of the view that as per mandate of S. 35(1) of the POCSO Act, the Special Court is obliged to record the statement of the victim within one month from the date of taking cognizance of the offence. And since the statement of the victim was not recorded, it was not a fit case to be considered on merits.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Accordingly, the petition was rejected directing the Special Court to pre-pone the case, frame the charge and record victim\u2019s statement within 30 days.
