A 50-year-old man from West Marredpally (Hyderabad) was
convicted under sections of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences
(POCSO) Act for raping and sexually abusing the four-and-half-year old. A
special Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) court after 11
months of trial found the man guilty under Section 5(m) of the POCSO Act
(aggravated penetrative sexual assault on child under age of 12) and Section
363 of the IPC (kidnap) and sentenced him to 10 years of rigorous imprisonment
and fine of Rs 4,000. The case will be forwarded to the District Legal Service
Authority (DLSA) to decide the quantum of compensation to be awarded to the
survivor. “Refer the matter to the District Collector so that appropriate
compensation can be given to the victim girl at the earliest,” the judgement
said.
