Rape Convict Awarded ‘One Half of Life Imprisonment’; Bombay High Court Says ‘It Means 10-Year Jail Term Under POCSO’

The Bombay High Court recently convicted a rape accused and said that half of the life imprisonment is 10 years for POCSO offences. According to reports, the court awarded the convict one-half of life imprisonment under the POCSO Act. As per the ruling, the accused has to undergo a sentence of 10 years. The decision came after the court was seized with a query by the Superintendent of Kolhapur prison who sought an interpretation of the High Court’s 2018 order sentencing a convict to “one half life imprisonment” in a POCSO case. UP Shocker: Class 10 Dalit Student Dies After Being Beaten by Teacher Over Mistake in Exam in Auraiya, Police Form Teams to Nab Accused (Watch Video).
