The Big Picture: Law and Child Abuse

The Supreme Court last month directed special courts to award compensation to sexually abused children on the lines of the NALSA scheme for victims of sexual assaults and acid attacks, till the Centre finalises the rules. A bench of Justice Madan B. Lokur, Justice S. Abdul Nazeer and Justice Deepak Gupta took into account the fact that the Centre had not framed any rules under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act on the basis of which special courts could award compensation to minor victims and directed that NALSA scheme be used as a guiding factor for the purpose. The National Legal Services Authority had framed the 'Compensation Scheme for Women Victims or Survivors of Sexual Assault and Other Crimes-2018', which the top court has accepted. The guidelines have come into force across the country from today and it would be gender neutral.
