Respected Mr. Murthy,

Please find below details as per the phone conversation. 

Ans.        Sec 86: Classification of offences and designated court depend upon term of punishment.

a.          Where an offence under this Act is punishable with imprisonment for a term of more than seven years, then, such offence shall be cognizable, non-bailable and triable by a Children’s Court. (Addl Dist. Judge / 1^st MSJ in city) vide G.O Rt.No. 630 Law (LA&J-Home-Courts-C) Dept, dt.23.3.2013). Children’s Court (Sec.2(l) means a Court established under the POCSO Act.

b.          Where an offence under this Act is punishable with imprisonment for a term of three years and above, but not more than seven years, then, such offence shall be cognizable, non-bailable and triable by a Magistrate of First Class.

c.            Where an offence, under this Act, is punishable with imprisonment for less than three years or with fine only, then, such offence shall be non-cognizable, bailable and triable by any Magistrate.

Thanking you.
