Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the punishment for POCSO offences in Kolkata?
A: Punishment ranges from 3 years imprisonment (for sexual harassment) to life imprisonment (for aggravated penetrative sexual assault) depending on the nature and gravity of the offence, along with fines.
Q: Can bail be granted in POCSO cases?
A: Yes, but with difficulty due to Section 37(1)(b) which requires the court to be satisfied that the accused is not guilty and not likely to commit similar offences. Skilled legal arguments can secure bail in appropriate cases.
Q: What is the age of consent under POCSO Act?
A: The POCSO Act does not recognise consent of a child below 18 years. Any sexual act with a person below 18 years is an offence regardless of consent. However, the Act provides a close-in-age exception for sexual acts between minors.
Q: Can a POCSO case be filed after many years?
A: There is no limitation period for filing POCSO cases. However, delay in reporting can be a factor considered by the court while evaluating the credibility of the allegations.
