Allahabad High Court Flags Misuse of POCSO Act, Lack of Radiologists To Conduct Ossification Tests Across Several Districts in Uttar Pradesh
The state's top court also directed the senior health department officer to file an affidavit with district-wise details of the number of radiologists, the number of degree and diploma holders in radiology and the number of government medical colleges with radio diagnostic facilities.
The Allahabad High Court recently said that sexual assault victims were facing undue harassment because of delays in their medico-legal examination due to the non-availability of radiologists in various districts in Uttar Pradesh. "It is unfortunate that many districts of Uttar Pradesh do not have any radiologists posted," the court said. The state's top court also directed the senior health department officer to file an affidavit with district-wise details of the number of radiologists, the number of degree and diploma holders in radiology and the number of government medical colleges with radio diagnostic facilities. The court observed while hearing the bail application of an accused in a case under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act, 2012 (POCSO Act). The development comes after the high court had directed the Chief Medical Officer (CMO) Ballia to get an ossification test of the victim conducted.
