Supreme Court<\/strong>: While hearing the plea seeking compensation of Rs 10 lakh for the parents of an eight-month old baby who was allegedly raped by her 28-year-old cousin in Delhi in the month of January 2018. The 3-judge bench Dipak Misra, AM Khanwilkar and Dr. DY Chandrachud, JJ directed the Registrar Generals of all the High Courts to send intimation to the Supreme Court Registry about the pendency of the cases instituted under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act, 2012 (POCSO Act) and the status of those cases. The Court said that the Registrar Generals may constitute a team, if necessary, to prepare district-wise data.<\/p>\n

Earlier, on 01.02.2018, the petitioner had submitted before the Court that there should be speedy disposal of the cases registered under the POCSO Act. Hence, the Court had asked him to file a chart containing data with regard to the cases pending at various places, along with the reasons for delayed disposal, so that the Court can take a holistic view of the matter.<\/p>\n

The Court will now take up the matter on 20.04.2018. [Alakh Alok Srivastava v. Union of India, 2018 SCC OnLine SC 212<\/a>, order dated 12.03.2018]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
