Abstract

The Union Cabinet on Thursday approved a watershed bill to protect children below the age of 16 against sexual offences, aimed at speedy trail through special courts and having a legal regime at par with best international practices. The bill to be introduced in the budget session of Parliament defines sexual assault against children in five categories. Penetrative sexual assault has been defined as any sexual crime, with a jail term of minimum seven years, that can be extended up to life imprisonment.
