The Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act, 2012 (POCSO) is a special legislation enacted to safeguard children against sexual abuse and exploitation. At Akcent Associates, we offer sensitive, strategic, and experienced legal representation in POCSO matters—whether you’re seeking justice for a minor or defending against a false or exaggerated accusation.
We understand the grave social, legal, and emotional impact of such cases and approach each matter with the highest standards of confidentiality, diligence, and legal precision.
When a child is a victim of sexual offence, swift and effective legal action is critical. Our services include:
Filing FIRs & Legal Complaints
We assist in promptly filing POCSO complaints and ensure that the FIR is properly registered with relevant details and protection clauses.
Legal Representation in Trial
Our lawyers represent the child’s family during prosecution, ensuring that the accused is brought to justice and the trial is not delayed or derailed.
Child Protection & Support Services
We coordinate with Child Welfare Committees (CWCs), NGOs, and psychologists to ensure proper care, counseling, and protection for the minor.
Monitoring Investigation & Charge Framing
Active follow-up on police investigations to ensure all forensic and witness procedures are correctly followed.
Appeals and Enhancements
Filing appeals for harsher sentences or challenging acquittals, if necessary, in the High Court or Supreme Court.
Due to the serious nature of the allegations, false POCSO cases can ruin careers, reputations, and families. We provide robust defense in such cases by:
Pre-FIR Counseling & Anticipatory Bail
Legal strategy to avoid arrest in case of potential misuse or malicious complaints.
Forensic & Evidence-Based Defense
We analyze CDRs, digital communications, CCTV footage, and timelines to expose contradictions and build a factual defense.
Trial Representation & Witness Cross-Examination
We ensure that the accused receives a fair trial, challenge the credibility of unreliable testimony, and prevent procedural violations.
Quashing of FIR (Section 482 CrPC)
Filing petitions before the High Court to quash false or unfounded FIRs under POCSO.
Reputation Protection & Media Sensitivity
Strategic advisory to manage reputational damage, especially in high-profile or sensitive cases.
