The Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act (POCSO Act) 2012 was formulated in order to effectively address sexual abuse and sexual exploitation of children.

PROFESSIONALLY BEING DOCTOR ......CAN DOCTOR CAN BE BOOKED UNDER POCSO ACT FOR MOLESTING 16 YEARS GIRL IF HE S CHARGED FALSELY ??.

Doctor is not above law.

There is no exemption to not to book doctor if he is reported to have committed the alleged offence.

Molestation being an offence, though it my have been falsely foisted agaisnt the doctor, it has to be challenged properly in the trial proceedings with mreits and evidences in your side.

i heard provisions of section 3 to 13( both shall not apply in the case of medical examination or medical treatment of child when such as medical examination is undertaken with the consent of his parents or guardian ( reference by book named sexual offense chapter IX) please guide me in this regard.according doctor statesmen it was doctors fees issue nothing else that y she blamed and charged hIm for molesting her ???

The sections what you refer may not be in connection with the POCSO Act, 2012.

If the doctor has been booked under the provisions of The Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act (POCSO Act) 2012, then the section you have mentioned to herein above is irrelevant.

All the subjects you have discussed above in this post are matter of trial and not at this stage.

Now you have to concentrate on how get him out on bail and what are the necessary ingredients that have to be taken care in this regard.

Look nothing can be said without perusal of the FIR. The doctor has to either face the trial to prove his innocence, or he may move the High Court for FIR quashing. Your lawyer alone can advise you on this as he has read the FIR.
