## ANSWER

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

(a) to (c): As per the data received from National Crime Records Bureau, State/UTwise Cases Registered (CR), Cases Chargesheeted (CCS), Cases Convicted (CON), Cases Acquitted (CAQ), Conviction Rate (CVR), Persons Arrested (PAR), Persons Chargesheeted (PCS), Persons Convicted (PCV) and Persons Acquitted (PAQ) under Total  Protection  of  Children  from  Sexual  Offences  Act  during   2014-2021  is  at Annexure-I.

(d):   The Government of India has enacted the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act, 2012 to provide safeguards for children against sexual abuse. The act defines a child as any person below the age of 18 years. The POCSO Act 2012 provides for establishment of Special Courts for the purpose of ensuring speedy trial. The Act was amended in 2019 to introduce more stringent punishment including death  penalty  for  committing  sexual  crimes  on  children,  with  a  view  to  deter  the perpetrators & prevent such crimes against children

Further as per the information received from Department of Justice, to bring more stringent provisions and expeditious trial and disposal of such cases, the Central Government has enacted 'The Criminal Law (Amendment) Act, 2018' which led to the establishment of  the Fast Track  Special  Courts  (FTSCs).  The  FTSC  Scheme  was started  to  set  up  1023  Fast  Track  Special  Courts for  speedy  disposal  of  rape and Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act (POCSO) Act cases with effect from

2nd Oct 2019. The Scheme was for a period of one year spread over two Financial Years 2019-20 and 2020-21. However, Cabinet has approved the continuation of the scheme for further 2 years, up to March 2023. As on 31/12/2022, 768 FTSCs including 418 exclusive POCSO Courts are functional in 28 States/UTs which have disposed more  than  137000  cases  and  more  than  198000  cases  still  pending  under  these FTSCs.

As  informed  by  Department  of  Justice,  the  Third  Party  Evaluation  of  the Scheme was undertaken by National Productivity Council (NPC) which submitted its report in December 2020. It was observed in the report that 5.54% of regular court cases,  7.21  %  of  FTSCs  cases  and  17.64%  of  exclusive  POCSO  cases  reported conviction.
