In Brief
The Government of Puducherry sought extension of time to compile data on Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Court setup. The Supreme Court granted the request, extending the deadline by six weeks for collating the required information. The Court also directed the Union of India to submit a comprehensive status report detailing the progress of establishing POCSO Courts and implementation of related Court orders. An earlier application was rejected. The case involves judicial review of protective measures, including CRPF security, and monitoring of specialized court infrastructure for child protection.
