The Minister of Women and Child Development (WCD) expressed strong disapproval of the recent ruling by the Allahabad High Court on child assault cases, stating that such a ruling has no place in a civilized society. The Minister’s comments came after the High Court ruled that physical contact with sexual intent without skin-to-skin contact does not amount to assault under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act. The Minister emphasized the need for stringent laws to protect children from all forms of abuse and called for a review of the court’s decision. The ruling has sparked outrage and concerns about the safety of children and the effectiveness of existing legal protections. The WCD Minister urged for a comprehensive approach to address child assault cases and ensure that perpetrators are held accountable for their actions. The Minister’s statement underscores the government’s commitment to safeguarding the well-being and rights of children in India. The ruling has raised important questions about the interpretation and implementation of laws related to child protection, prompting calls for a more robust legal framework to prevent and address cases of child assault. The Minister’s response reflects the government’s proactive stance on child welfare issues and its dedication to ensuring a safe environment for all children in the country.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
