POCSO survivor cannot be denied compensation solely due to absence of injury marks: Allahabad HC
India's Allahabad High Court ruled that a survivor of a POCSO offence cannot be refused compensation merely because physical injury marks are absent. The judgment stemmed from a case where an FIR was lodged at Lucknow's Sarojini Nagar police station on December 7, 2022, and a chargesheet was filed on January 13, 2023. The ruling underscores compensation cannot be denied solely because marks are absent.
