Why POCSO Matters

The POCSO Act is a special law enacted to protect children (below 18 years) from sexual abuse, harassment, and pornography. It ensures child-friendly procedures, time-bound trials, and confidentiality of the victim’s identity. Violations can lead to severe penalties, including rigorous imprisonment and fines.

At Abhishek Prasad & Associates, we understand the emotional and legal complexities of such cases and strive to ensure justice is delivered with compassion, care, and confidentiality—whether representing the victim or the accused.
