## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF WOMEN AND CHILD DEVELOPMENT (SHRIMATI SMRITI ZUBIN IRANI)

(a) to (c) As per National Crimes Record Bureau (NCRB), the latest data regarding the total number of sexual assault, aggravated sexual assault, penetrative and aggravated penetrative  assault  and  child  pornography  cases  registered  under  Protection  of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act, 2012 and total number of cases decided pertains to year 2017. The State-wise data is at Annexure-I .

(d)    The  Protection  of  Children  from  Sexual  Offences  (POCSO)  Act,  2012  has adequate provisions ensuring speedy trial under the Act.  Section 28 of the POCSO Act  2012  provides  for  establishment  of  Special  Courts  for  the  purpose  of  providing speedy trial. Further, Section 35 of the POCSO Act provides that the evidence of the child  shall  be  recorded  within  a  period  of  thirty  days  of  the  Special  Court  taking cognizance  of  the  offence  and  reasons  for  delay,  if  any,  shall  be  recorded  by  the Special  Court.  Further,  Section  35  also  lays  down  that  the  Special  Court  shall complete  the  trial,  as  far  as  possible,  within  a  period  of  one  year  from  the  date  of taking cognizance of the offence.

However, 'Police' and 'Public Order' are State subjects under the Seventh Schedule to the Constitution of India. The responsibilities to maintain law and order, protection of life  and  property  of  the  citizens  including  children,  rest  primarily  with  the  respective State Governments and UT Administration.

Besides,  the  Government  of  India  has  taken  the  following  steps  to  ensure  speedy dispensation of justice:

- i. In  furtherance  to  The Criminal  Law  (Amendment) Act, 2018, the Government has  finalized  a  scheme  in  August,  2019  for  setting  up  of  total  of  1023  Fast Track  Special  Courts  (FTSCs)  across  the  country  for  expeditious  trial  and disposal of pending cases pertaining to rape and POCSO Act, 2012, in a timebound  manner  under  Centrally  Sponsored  Scheme.  The  Scheme  is  for  one year spread over two financial years i.e.2019-20 and 2020-21.
- ii. The Criminal Law (Amendment) Act, 2013 was enacted for effective deterrence against sexual offences. Further, the Criminal Law (Amendment) Act, 2018 was enacted  to  prescribe  even  more  stringent  penal  provisions  including  death penalty  for  rape  of  a  girl  below  age  of  12  years.  The  Act  also  inter-alia mandates completion of investigation and trials within 2 months each.
- iii. A  'National  Database  on  Sexual  Offenders'  has  been  launched  on  20 th September,  2018  to  facilitate  investigation  and  tracking  of  sexual  offenders across the country by law enforcement agencies.
- iv. An  online  analytic  tool  for  police  called  'Investigation  Tracking  System  for Sexual Offences' has been launched on 19.02.2019 to monitor and track timebound investigation  on  sexual  assault  cases  in  accordance  with  the  Criminal Law (Amendment) Act, 2018.
- v. In  order  to  improve  investigation,  steps  have  been  taken  to  strengthen  DNA analysis units in Central and State Forensic Science Laboratories. This includes setting up of a State-of-the-Art DNA Analysis Unit in Central Forensic Science Laboratory, Chandigarh.
- vi. Guidelines  have  been  notified  for  collection  of  forensic  evidence  in  sexual assault  cases  and  the  standard  composition  in  a  Sexual  Assault  Evidence Collection Kit. A total number of 6023 officers have been trained by the Bureau of  Police  Research  and  Development  (BPR&D)  and  Lok  Nayak  Jayaprakash Narayan National Institute  of  Criminology  and  Forensic  Science.  BPR&D  has distributed 3,120 Sexual Assault Evidence Collection Kits to State Governments/UT Administration as orientation kit as part of training.
- vii. A  scheme  namely  Cyber  Crime  Prevention  against  Women  and  Children (CCPWC)  has  been  approved  under  which  an  online  cybercrime  reporting portal (www.cybercrime.gov.in) has been launched on 20th September, 2018 to enable public to report complaints pertaining to child pornography/ child sexual abuse material, rape/gang rape imageries or sexually explicit content.
