casestatus.in Summary

Summary: The Supreme Court heard Rakesh Babu's Special Leave Petition challenging the Delhi High Court's order upholding trial by a General Security Force Court under the BSF Act for POCSO Act offences. The Court examined relevant statutory provisions and noted that the BSF Act defines "offence" to include civil offences triable by criminal courts, and Section 72 grants General Security Force Courts jurisdiction over such offences. The matter was adjourned to 25.03.2026 with directions to the Union of India to provide submissions on a related precedent concerning Assam Rifles with an identical issue. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
