The Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act was an important legislation that was enacted in India in 2012. It aims to safeguard children from sexual exploitation through various enforcement and legal redressal mechanisms. This dataset has been scraped from eCourts India Services using Python script which uses Selenium. We have mined apex and high courts’ judgements, which mentioned the POCSO Act and its respective sections. We have chronologically scraped POCSO judgements from 2012 to 2020 in the corpus.
