Key Provisions of the POCSO Act:
- Stringent Penalties: Harsh punishments for perpetrators, ranging from fines to life imprisonment, depending on the severity of the offense.
- Child-Friendly Procedures: Special measures to prevent trauma during investigation and trial, such as in-camera trials and avoiding repeated statements by the child.
