Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan on Thursday called for speedy prosecution in case registered under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act.
Chairing a top-level meeting on child protection, Mr. Vijayan said the prosecution should help courts complete trials in such cases within a year of the occurrence of the crime. Speedy justice would serve as a social deterrent, he said.
