Delhi High Court cites Gita, Qur'an, Bible on role of mediation but says POCSO cases cannot be compromised
The Court made it clear that cases under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act (POCSO Act) cannot be referred to mediation and settled or compromised.
The Delhi High Court recently invoked Ramayana, Mahabharata, Bhagavad Gita, Bible, Qur’an and Kautilya’s Arthashastra to emphasise on the importance of mediation [Rajeev Dagar v State & Ors].
