Chennai: SEXUAL ASSAULT victims still await verdict.

CHENNAI,

The timely verdict in Hasini's case was surely cheered by many, but it is shocking to know the number of victims awaiting just a glimpse of justice. In Chengalpet court alone, where Hasini's verdict was delivered, at least 328 SEXUAL ASSAULT victims are awaiting trial.The Prevention Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act (POCSO), 2012 mandates the trial of child RAPE cases to be completed within a year, but victims say it takes more than 365 days for the first hearing itself. According to Chengalpet Mahila court statistics, 75 child RAPE cases are pending, with the oldest one registered in 2013 and 200 cases are in First Information Report (FIR) stage. In city limits, 78 cases are pending at the Chennai mahila court and 150 are in FIR stage. Advocate V Kannadasan, who assisted the prosecution in Hasini's case, while explaining the cause of the delay, said, “First, it is a difficult task to bring the victim undergoing trauma to confront in the open court while the memories of the horror are fresh in her mind. Also, the legal procedures are carried out at a snail's pace.” According to legal procedures, the case enters court after an FIR is filed and police conduct investigations and gather eyewitness before filing a charge sheet. That itself takes ages to complete, victims rue.Many a time, the victims are left in a fix as eyewitnesses flee the scene after being bribed and threatened in the court corridors. Advocates said mostly, public prosecutors are behind the scene. In one instance, the prosecutor threatened eyewitness in front of the 11-year-old victim. It has been over two years since the parents of the victim have been running from pillar to post for gathering evidences. At the end of it, the victims either turn hostile or give up to put an end to the traumatic experience. Unlike Dhasvanth's case with strong evidence and media attention, accused get away in most of the cases with political influence and money. Nearly five months ago, 8-year-old Harika was at her home alone when an acquaintance pretended to watch TV with her before smashing her head on the wall and RAPING her. Before seven stitches in her head and, four stitches on her vagina even healed, the accused was given a bail, stating he was just “22 years old”. The case is still pending. To try and understand what it must be like to go through the horrific trauma of RAPE, and then have to spend numerous years of your life dealing with police, lawyers and family members can give you nightmares.

It really needs courage for a RAPE victim to report the case and face the RAPE trial. Who knows how many times she is asked to prove that she was speaking the truth?
