“Human Rights are not a privilege to be granted — they are a birthrigh
t to be protected.”
— Dr. Anthony Raju, Advocate Supreme Court, Founder Chairman, AICHLS
Official Condemnation Statement
We strongly condemn the horrific kidnapping and sexual assault of a 4-year-old child in Hooghly, West Bengal. The brutality of the crime, where the child was found bleeding and wounded near a drain, exposes a grave collapse of law and order and systemic failure in child protection. Reports indicating police hesitation in registering the initial complaint are deeply alarming and unacceptable.
https://lnkd.in/g7WwerV6
The State has a constitutional and moral obligation to ensure the safety and dignity of every child. Immediate steps must be taken to arrest the perpetrators, ensure a thorough medical-legal investigation, and conduct the trial in a Fast-Track POCSO Court with daily hearing. Any police negligence must be recorded, investigated, and acted upon with departmental and legal consequences.
Justice delayed in crimes against children is justice denied. A strong deterrent message must be sent that crimes against minors will be met with the harshest punishment under law.

शीर्ष न्यायालय का ऐतिहासिक फैसला:
"किसी भी व्यक्ति को गिरफ्तार करने से पहले पुलिस द्वारा लिखित में जानकारी देना अनिवार्य है। यदि यह नहीं किया गया, तो गिरफ्तारी अवैध और असंवैधानिक मानी जाएगी।"
यह फैसला नागरिक स्वतंत्रता, मानवाधिकारों और न्यायिक पारदर्शिता को और अधिक सुदृढ़ करता है।

✅ क्या कहा सुप्रीम कोर्ट ने?
पुलिस अब किसी भी व्यक्ति को बिना पूर्व लिखित सूचना दिए गिरफ्तार नहीं कर सकती।
गिरफ्तार व्यक्ति या उसके परिवार को गिरफ्तारी के कारण, सेक्शन, केस डिटेल्स और आगे की कार्रवाई की जानकारी दस्तावेज़ के रूप में देना अनिवार्य है।
यदि पुलिस इस प्रक्रिया का पालन नहीं करती, तो: गिरफ्तारी रद्द, संबंधित अधिकारियों पर कठोर कार्रवाई और मुआवजे का आदेश भी दिया जा सकता है।

इस ऐतिहासिक फैसले पर टिप्पणी:
> "यह फैसला भारत की न्याय प्रणाली में नागरिक अधिकारों के संरक्षण को एक सशक्त दिशा देता है।
वर्षों से यह देखा गया है कि कई मामलों में बिना सूचना के गिरफ्तारी का दुरुपयोग हुआ है, जिससे न्याय प्रक्रिया, सम्मान, और मानवीय अधिकारों का हनन हुआ है।
यह निर्णय निर्दोष लोगों को फर्जी व झूठे मामलों में फँसाने की प्रवृत्ति को रोकने की दिशा में एक मील का पत्थर है।
अब पुलिस को पूरी पारदर्शिता, औपचारिक प्रक्रियाओं और उचित दस्तावेज़ीकरण के साथ कार्य करना होगा। यह न्याय के मूल सिद्धांत — 'Innocent Until Proven Guilty' — की रक्षा करता है।"

If the Victim Declines Medical Examination in a POCSO Case – What Should Be Done?
⚖️ LEGAL NOTE
If the Victim Declines Medical Examination in a POCSO Case – What Should Be Done?
By Dr. Anthony Raju, Advocate, Supreme Court of India
Leading Expert in POCSO, Rape, and Serious Criminal Cases
???? The Crucial Role of Medical Examination in POCSO Cases
In cases under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act, medical and forensic examination plays a vital role in discovering the truth and ensuring justice. It provides scientific proof that can confirm or disprove allegations of sexual assault.
However, sometimes the victim or guardian may refuse medical examination due to fear, trauma, social pressure, or stigma. At this stage, the investigation must proceed with sensitivity, legality, and balance, ensuring justice to both victim and accused.
⚖️ Legal Explanation by Dr. Anthony Raju
1. Consent is Mandatory – Examination Cannot Be Forced:
Under Section 27 of the POCSO Act and Section 164A CrPC, a medical examination requires consent of the child or guardian. It cannot be forced, but if refused, the reason for refusal must be recorded in writing.
2. Duty of the Investigating Officer:
Explain the importance of forensic evidence to the family.
Obtain written refusal with reasons.
Inform the Magistrate immediately.
Seek help from the Child Welfare Committee (CWC) or support person for counselling.
3. Evidentiary Impact:
Refusal of medical examination may make evidence weaker, but courts have held that a trustworthy victim testimony can still lead to conviction.
At the same time, lack of medical evidence may protect an innocent accused in false or fabricated cases.
4. Justice Must Be Balanced:
The justice system must not be one-sided. Protecting the child is vital, but protecting an innocent accused is equally important.
Under Article 21, every person has a Right to Fair Trial. No one should suffer due to false implication or fabricated evidence.
“Justice must protect the victim and also safeguard the innocent. In false POCSO cases, absence of medical or forensic evidence must be seen as a serious signal — because justice is not only about punishment but also about fairness.”
— Dr. Anthony Raju, Advocate Supreme Court & Leading Expert in POCSO and Serious Offences
⚖️ Judicial and Ethical Balance
The Supreme Court of India has emphasized that while protecting children is the top priority, the accused must also get fair justice.
If medical examination is refused, alternative evidence such as digital proof, CCTV footage, or witness statements must be used carefully to uphold truth and justice.

Why So Important!

???? The Role of Medical & Forensic Examination in POCSO Cases
In every case registered under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act, medical and forensic examination plays a crucial and irreplaceable role. These examinations are not merely procedural, but the foundation of truth and justice in cases involving sexual offences against children.
---
⚕️ 1. Medical Examination: The First Step Towards Justice
Conducted immediately after the alleged incident by a registered medical practitioner, preferably female.
Helps determine whether sexual assault occurred, collects physical evidence, and assesses injuries, if any.
A medical report under Section 27 of the POCSO Act is mandatory and must be completed within 24 hours of receiving information.
The child’s dignity and psychological safety must always be protected during the process.
---
???? 2. Forensic Examination: The Scientific Backbone
Forensic experts analyze biological evidence such as blood, semen, hair, DNA, fibers, and clothing.
Provides scientific corroboration to the victim’s statement and the circumstances of the case.
Ensures objectivity and accuracy, minimizing false implications or wrongful acquittals.
In modern practice, DNA profiling has become the most conclusive tool in linking or excluding the accused.
---
⚖️ 3. Why These Examinations Are So Important
✅ They strengthen the prosecution by providing solid scientific proof.
✅ They protect the innocent from false charges.
✅ They ensure the credibility of the investigation and uphold the sanctity of justice.
✅ They guide the court in establishing guilt beyond reasonable doubt.
---
???? Dr. Anthony Raju says:
> “In POCSO cases, every medical and forensic finding can make the difference between truth and injustice. The law’s intent is not only to punish the guilty but also to protect the innocent. Scientific evidence ensures that justice is not based on emotion, but on fact and proof.”

Governor Acharya Devvrat Calls Prime Minister Narendra Modi “An Idea and a Spiritual Force”
Mumbai, October 24:
In a remarkable address at the launch of noted lawyer and author Berjis Desai’s book “Modi’s Mission” held in Mumbai, Maharashtra Governor Acharya Devvrat described Prime Minister Narendra Modi as “not merely a political leader or Prime Minister, but an idea and a spiritual force, born out of a divine order.”
The event was graced by Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, and author Berjis Desai, among other distinguished personalities.
Speaking about the Prime Minister’s leadership and vision, Governor Devvrat stated:
> “Where there is the need for a great man to bring change to a society, such people come from a divine order. They possess the power to make the impossible possible. The decisions that Modi ji has taken in his life cannot be replicated by ordinary people.”
Highlighting landmark initiatives such as the abrogation of Article 370 and the construction of the Ram Temple in Ayodhya, the Governor remarked that these were decisions executed by “a great man with divine willpower and vision.”
> “There is a divine order behind such actions,” he said. “A life free of self-interest, driven by altruism and the spirit of public welfare, is one that inspires every citizen to be proud.”
Notably, during the 2024 General Election campaign, Prime Minister Narendra Modi himself had said that while he believed during his mother’s lifetime that he was “born biologically,” after her passing, he became “convinced that God has sent me.”
---
Dr. Anthony Raju’s Reflections
Extending his deep appreciation, Dr. Anthony Raju, Advocate, Supreme Court of India and Chairman, All India Council of Human Rights, Liberties & Social Justice, said:
> “Prime Minister Narendra Modi represents more than political leadership — he embodies the spirit of national awakening. His journey from humble beginnings to transforming India’s global stature reflects unwavering faith, discipline, and divine inspiration. Leaders like him remind us that governance rooted in spirituality and human values can reshape the destiny of a nation.”
Dr. Raju further added:
> “The Governor’s words beautifully capture the essence of a visionary who has dedicated his life to service without self-interest. Under Modi ji’s leadership, India has witnessed not only economic and diplomatic strength but also moral and cultural resurgence — a true example of leadership with purpose and purity.”

Saudi Arabia Abolishes Kafala System — A Landmark Step Towards Dignity and Freedom for Millions of Migrant Workers
By Global Desk | Statement from Dr. Anthony Raju, Advocate, Supreme Court of India & Chairman, Global Council for Human Rights and Peace
In a historic and long-awaited reform, Saudi Arabia has officially abolished the Kafala (sponsorship) system, a move hailed globally as a monumental leap toward protecting the dignity, freedom, and fundamental human rights of millions of migrant workers—many of whom hail from India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Nepal, and other South Asian nations.
The Kafala system, in place for decades, has often been criticized by international human rights organizations for creating an environment of dependency and control. Under this system, a migrant worker’s legal status was directly tied to their employer—requiring the employer’s consent for even the most basic rights such as changing jobs, leaving the country, or renewing a work visa.
This framework, in practice, fostered exploitation, withheld wages, and in some cases, amounted to modern-day bonded labor.
> “The abolition of the Kafala system is not just an administrative reform — it’s a humanitarian milestone,” said Dr. Anthony Raju, Advocate, Supreme Court of India, Global Human Rights Activist, and Chairman, Global Council for Human Rights and Peace.
“This bold step by Saudi Arabia reflects a growing commitment to justice, equality, and human dignity. Millions of migrant Indian workers, who form the backbone of the Gulf’s labor force, will finally have a chance to live and work with greater respect, security, and legal protection.”
A Step Toward Fairness and Empowerment
With the new reforms, foreign workers are now allowed to change jobs without employer consent, travel freely, and exit the country without approval — provided they follow proper notice procedures. This change aligns closely with global labor standards and the principles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR).
For over 2.5 million Indian nationals working in Saudi Arabia across construction, healthcare, domestic work, and other industries, this reform promises enhanced labor mobility, better working conditions, and greater protection against exploitation.
Global Implications and Responsibility
Dr. Raju further emphasized the importance of vigilance in implementation:
> “While we celebrate this historic change, we must now focus on its ground realities. The true success of this reform will depend on strict enforcement, awareness among workers, and accountability of employers and recruitment agencies. It is essential that both governments and civil society organizations work hand in hand to ensure that these new freedoms are not just on paper but are practiced every day.”
This reform could serve as a model for other Gulf nations, encouraging broader regional transformation in labor laws, ensuring fair wages, humane working hours, access to legal recourse, and respect for human rights irrespective of nationality or status.
A Call for Continued Global Solidarity
Dr. Anthony Raju concluded with a powerful message of solidarity and hope:
> “Every human being deserves to live with dignity, freedom, and equality. Let this reform remind the world that progress in human rights is possible when nations listen, reflect, and reform. We congratulate Saudi Arabia for this historic initiative and look forward to witnessing its real-world impact in uplifting millions of lives.”

LEGAL NOTE FOR YOUNG ADVOCATES & LAW STUDENTS
Why Section 207 CrPC is the Turning Point in False POCSO Cases
By Dr. Anthony Raju, Advocate, Supreme Court of India
POCSO Cases Expert | Leading Strategist | Top Criminal Advocate
Chairman, Indian National Human Rights Protection Council
8588872001 for Legal Help

Introduction
Every young advocate and law student must remember that criminal law is not just about punishment — it’s about protection of rights. In India’s justice system, where emotions, media pressure, and false accusations sometimes cloud truth, Section 207 of the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC) becomes a shield of justice.
For any accused — especially in false POCSO (Protection of Children from Sexual Offences) cases — Section 207 CrPC ensures that no one faces trial blindly, without knowing what evidence is being used against them. This single stage can change the entire course of a case.
---
The Essence of Section 207 CrPC
Section 207 mandates that the Magistrate or Special POCSO Court must provide copies of all prosecution documents to the accused free of cost, including:
The FIR
Witness statements under Sections 161 and 164 CrPC
Medical and forensic reports
Seizure memos, electronic records, CCTV footage, and digital data
This is not a mere formality — it is the first right of defence and a constitutional guarantee under Article 21 (Right to Life and Fair Trial).
---
Why It Matters in False POCSO Cases
False POCSO allegations destroy lives, careers, and families. Often, such cases are filed with malicious intent, social pressure, or to settle personal scores. Here, the defence must act strategically.
Section 207 CrPC helps in:
Detecting contradictions between police and magistrate statements
Uncovering fabricated evidence or manipulated reports
Identifying delay or inconsistency in FIRs
Ensuring that every document is genuine and unaltered
For young lawyers, this stage teaches a crucial lesson — justice begins with information. The advocate who knows how to analyze case documents under Section 207 can build or break a case.
---
Judicial Wisdom
Courts have repeatedly emphasized that non-supply of documents under Section 207 vitiates the fairness of trial.
Sidhartha Vashisht v. State (NCT of Delhi) – Fair trial requires full disclosure to the accused.
State of U.P. v. Lakshmi (1999) – Prejudice caused by non-supply of documents is a serious violation.
Ranjit Singh v. State of Punjab (1998) – The right to access documents is part of natural justice.
These rulings remind us that procedural rights are not technicalities — they are the backbone of justice.
---
Message for Young Advocates and Law Students
To every young advocate, intern, and CLAT aspirant —
The brilliance of a lawyer lies not in loud arguments, but in meticulous preparation. Always begin by demanding your client’s right under Section 207 CrPC. Study the documents line by line, find the gaps, the contradictions, and the truths hidden between lines.
Never underestimate procedural law — it is your most powerful weapon for justice.
A good lawyer argues well; a great lawyer investigates better.
---
Conclusion
Section 207 CrPC is the gateway to justice in every criminal trial. For those falsely accused under POCSO, it is the first hope of truth and fairness. For young advocates, it is a reminder that every legal provision carries a human story behind it. Master it, use it wisely, and uphold the dignity of law.
