In Brief

This suo moto writ petition concerns the Government of Puducherry's compliance with Supreme Court orders regarding the establishment of exclusive POCSO (Protection of Children from Sexual Offences) Courts in Madhya Pradesh. The State filed an affidavit confirming that 28 exclusive POCSO Courts are already operational. The Court acknowledged the State's compliance efforts and waived the previously imposed cost of Rs. 10 Lakhs, while directing the State to ensure all requisite exclusive POCSO Courts are properly established. The question of setting up Human Rights Courts was deferred to a related petition.
