Source - RAJYA SABHA SESSION - 267 UNSTARRED QUESTION No 1074. ANSWERED ON, 13 February 2025. At the inception of the Scheme, the allocation of FTSCs across the country was based on a criterion of 65 to 165 pending cases per court, meaning one FTSC would be established for every 65 to 165 pending cases. Based on that, only 31 States/UTs were eligible to join the Scheme. Puducherry specially requested to join the Scheme and has since operationalized one exclusive POCSO Court in May 2023. Andaman and Nicobar Islands has consented to join the Scheme, but is yet to operationalize any court. Arunachal Pradesh has opted out of the Scheme citing a very low number of pending cases of Rape and POCSO Act.
