Dr. Anthony Raju Applauds CM Rekha Gupta’s Pro-People Stand on Slum Demolitions
New Delhi, June 4, 2025 —
Dr. Anthony Raju, a distinguished Advocate of the Supreme Court of India and the National Chairman of the Indian National Human Rights Protection Council and Akhil Bhartiya Garibi Mukti Morcha, has lauded the bold and compassionate directive issued by the Honourable Chief Minister of Delhi, Smt. Rekha Gupta Ji. The CM has firmly instructed officials not to proceed with slum demolitions without ensuring the provision of permanent housing, and has warned of strict action against those inciting fear through misinformation.
“This is a highly appreciable and humane step by the Honourable Chief Minister Rekha Gupta Ji. Her directive reflects true leadership and a deep commitment to the protection of basic human rights and dignity of the underprivileged. The voice of the voiceless must never be silenced by bulldozers but must be heard through dialogue, development, and dignity,” stated Dr. Raju.
He further emphasized that the right to shelter is a fundamental human right, enshrined in the Constitution of India and reinforced by international human rights conventions. “This action sets a precedent for all states to follow, where progress must walk hand-in-hand with compassion,” he added.
Dr. Raju reaffirmed his organizations' continued commitment to stand with the poor, oppressed, and marginalized, and extended full support to the Delhi Government's progressive policies that aim to eradicate poverty through inclusive governance.

Strong Condemnation of Gang-Rape Incident in Bulandshahr, Uttar Pradesh
It is with deep anguish and outrage that I express my strongest condemnation of the heinous and barbaric gang rape of a woman inside a moving vehicle in the Khurja Police Station area of Bulandshahr district, Uttar Pradesh, reported on Tuesday.
This incident is not only a horrific act of sexual violence but also a shameful violation of human dignity and fundamental human rights. Such brutality, occurring in a moving vehicle in broad defiance of law and order, reflects an alarming breakdown in public safety and moral conscience.
As an Advocate of the Supreme Court of India and Chairman of the Indian National Human Rights Protection Council, I demand that the Uttar Pradesh Government and law enforcement authorities take immediate and exemplary action. The perpetrators must be apprehended without delay and prosecuted under the strictest provisions of the law, including fast-track judicial proceedings.
I also urge the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) and the National Commission for Women (NCW) to intervene and ensure that the victim receives justice, protection, and psychological support at the earliest.
We cannot and must not normalize such crimes.
This is a time for society to rise in collective condemnation, and for the government to demonstrate zero tolerance toward crimes against women.
Justice delayed is justice denied. Let this not be another case buried under files and forgotten in silence.
On August 20, 2024, the Supreme Court of India, in a suo motu proceeding, set aside a ruling by a High Court which had effectively diluted the core intent of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act. The apex court firmly reaffirmed that:
> “POCSO does not recognise ‘consensual sex’ with minors.”
The Court emphasized that minors (under 18 years) are legally incapable of giving valid consent for sexual activities, and therefore, any sexual act involving a minor is a punishable offence under POCSO, regardless of alleged consent. The bench warned against any interpretation or judicial leniency that could undermine the protective purpose of the law, which is aimed at safeguarding children from sexual exploitation and abuse.
This judgment served as a clear directive to all courts to maintain the strict and protective framework of POCSO and not dilute its objectives based on arguments of consent in cases involving minors. The Supreme Court’s intervention reinforces the zero-tolerance approach toward child sexual abuse and aims to preserve the integrity and intent of child protection laws in India.
Strong Condemnation of Custodial Death in Jharkhand – Demand for Fair and Impartial Investigation
The All India Council of Human Rights, Liberties & Social Justice (AICHLS), under the leadership of Dr. Anthony Raju, Advocate, Supreme Court of India, expresses its deep anguish and strong condemnation of the reported custodial death that occurred at Palajori Police Station in Deoghar district, Jharkhand.
As per reports, the deceased was taken from his home for interrogation in connection with a cybercrime case. On May 22, 2025, during the course of interrogation, the victim’s health allegedly deteriorated and he was shifted to Deoghar Sadar Hospital, where he was declared dead. Family members of the victim have made serious allegations of custodial torture, claiming that physical abuse in police custody led to his untimely death.
"We strongly condemn this tragic incident, which amounts to a gross violation of basic human rights and constitutional safeguards," said Dr. Anthony Raju, Advocate, Supreme Court and Chairman of AICHLS. "We demand a fair, independent, and time-bound investigation under judicial supervision, and strict accountability of all officials involved."
AICHLS welcomes the action taken by the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) in issuing a notice to the Jharkhand Government. However, we further demand:
Suspension and immediate arrest of police officials involved pending investigation
Judicial or CBI-led inquiry into the custodial death
Independent forensic and medical board for post-mortem examination
CCTV footage of the police station during the period to be preserved and made public
Adequate compensation and protection to the family of the deceased
Institutional reforms and mandatory human rights training for police personnel
This incident is yet another grim reminder of the urgent need for police reform and custodial accountability in India. Justice must not only be done but seen to be done.
AICHLS stands in solidarity with the victim’s family and reaffirms its commitment to fighting for justice, human dignity, and the rule of law.

False POCSO Allegations Must Be Dealt With Sternly to Protect the Innocent, Says Dr. Anthony Raju
In a highly shocking development, it has come to light that a complaint was filed under the POCSO Act by a wrestler allegedly to settle a personal grudge against former MP Brij Mohan Singh. The case has stirred legal and public outrage, with calls for strict action against the misuse of such a sensitive law.
Dr. Anthony Raju, Advocate, Supreme Court of India, and one of the country’s leading legal experts on POCSO cases, condemned the incident:
> “This is highly shocking. The POCSO Act is a powerful legal tool meant to protect children, not to be misused for settling personal scores. Filing such frivolous complaints not only damages reputations and lives but also dilutes the seriousness of genuine cases. The Hon’ble Court must take strict action to prevent such abuse of process and to safeguard innocent individuals who are being falsely implicated in POCSO matters.”
Dr. Raju, who has represented numerous clients wrongly accused under the POCSO Act, further called for legal reforms and penalties for filing false complaints.
> “There must be accountability. False cases harm real victims by clogging the system and creating mistrust. It is time to introduce stringent deterrents against misuse.”
Supreme Court Seeks Centre's Response On Plea Seeking Compensation For Child Sex Abuse Victims Under POCSO
In a significant development towards securing justice and rehabilitation for child victims of sexual abuse, the Supreme Court of India has sought the Centre’s response on a petition demanding proper and timely compensation under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act.
The plea highlights gaps in the existing compensation mechanisms for child sex abuse survivors, especially under the POCSO framework. The petitioner urges the establishment of a standardized, fast-track compensation process that ensures psychological, medical, and financial support for victims and their families.
Dr. Anthony Raju, Advocate, Supreme Court of India and Chairman of the Indian National Human Rights Protection Council (INHRC), lauded the move, stating:
> “It is highly appreciated that the Hon’ble Supreme Court has taken cognizance of this vital issue. Justice is incomplete without rehabilitation. Ensuring timely and adequate compensation to child victims of sexual abuse under POCSO is not just a legal necessity, but a moral and humanitarian duty. The government must respond with seriousness and urgency.”
Dr. Raju further emphasized that child protection must remain at the core of national human rights strategies, and all stakeholders — legal, social, and governmental — must collaborate to safeguard children’s dignity and future.

Selective Silence of Celebrities on National Crises is Deeply Disturbing," Says Dr. Anthony Raju, Advocate – Supreme Court & Chairman, Indian National Human Rights Protection Council
New Delhi, 16 May 2025 – Speaking at the National Conference on Tolerance and Civilization, renowned human rights defender and Supreme Court Advocate Dr. Anthony Raju strongly criticized the conspicuous silence of India’s top celebrities — from the film industry, cricketing world, corporate circles, and public life — on grave national matters.
Referring to incidents like Pulwama, Pahalgam, and other issues that touch the very soul of the nation, Dr. Raju said:
> “It is truly shocking that those who have earned name, fame, and massive wealth from this country — with the love and admiration of the people — have repeatedly chosen silence when the nation bleeds or demands moral courage.”
He further remarked:
> “Are these celebrities only meant to entertain the masses, endorse brands, and collect awards like Padma Shri and Bharat Ratna — while staying completely disconnected from the real pain, sacrifice, and struggles of the common Indian?”
Dr. Raju called for greater accountability and public awareness, urging the youth and civil society to recognize the difference between genuine public figures and self-serving stardom.
> “In times of national crisis, true character is revealed. Silence is not neutrality — it is complicity.”
Dr. Anthony Raju, apart from being a seasoned advocate at the Supreme Court of India, is a globally recognized voice in human rights, heading multiple national and international councils focused on justice, peace, and public accountability.

Defending against a false POCSO (Protection of Children from Sexual Offences) case requires a strategic, lawful, and evidence-based approach. Here's a comprehensive guide based on legal principles, procedural safeguards, and recent Supreme Court judgments (as of 2024):
1. Focus on Lack of Evidence & Contradictions
Medical Evidence: If medical reports do not support allegations, highlight that.
CCTV Footage / Location Proof: Use digital evidence to establish presence elsewhere or prove impossibility.
Delay in FIR: Unexplained or unreasonable delay in lodging FIR can be questioned.
Inconsistent Statements: Contradictions in statements under Section 161 CrPC (police) and Section 164 CrPC (magistrate) can weaken prosecution.
2. Key Grounds for Bail & Acquittal
Consent (Age Factor): If the girl is above 18 and there's evidence of a consensual relationship, the POCSO Act may not apply.
False Implication: Due to family enmity, property disputes, or failed relationships, false cases are often filed — courts have recognized this.
3. Recent Supreme Court Guidelines & Judgments
a. [XYZ vs State of Maharashtra, 2023]
Held: Mere allegations without corroborative medical or forensic evidence cannot sustain conviction under POCSO.
Use: Emphasize that burden of proof lies with prosecution, and presumption of innocence is constitutional.
b. [Sanjay Kumar Rai v. State of UP, 2021]
Held: High Courts can quash proceedings under Section 482 CrPC if it appears that criminal law has been misused.
Use: File a petition for quashing FIR in High Court, especially in cases of obvious falsehood.
c. [Satish v. State of Maharashtra (Skin to Skin case), 2021]
Though later overturned, it emphasized strict interpretation of terms under POCSO — showing that intent and act must be clearly established.
4. Legal Steps for Defense
1. Apply for Anticipatory Bail (if FIR is not yet registered)
2. File for FIR Quashing – Under Section 482 CrPC if the case appears evidently false.
3. Engage Expert Legal Counsel – Preferably with experience in POCSO and criminal trials.
4. Protect the Accused’s Identity – As per Supreme Court guidelines, maintain confidentiality.
5. Cross-Examine the Complainant and Witnesses Firmly – Bring out contradictions and inconsistencies.
5. Precautions for the Accused
Avoid Direct Contact with the complainant or family.
Do Not Post on Social Media about the case.
Maintain Records of messages, call logs, and movements.
Conclusion by Dr. Anthony Raju (for use in statements)
"False POCSO cases not only destroy innocent lives but also undermine the spirit of the law meant to protect real victims. Courts must tread carefully and uphold fairness, ensuring that justice does not become injustice in the name of protection."
