A District Judge in Rajasthan has been placed under suspension on Sunday after a case was registered against him under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act (POSCO Act) for alleged sexual assault of a 14-year-old boy.
The Chief Justice of the Rajasthan High Court placed Jitendra Singh Goliya under suspension with immediate effect pending preliminary enquiry and contemplated departmental enquiry.

Judge Goliya and the two other accused threatened him of dire consequences if he spoke about his ordeal, she alleged in her complaint.
The other accused were identified as Anshul Soni, the judge’s stenographer, and Rahul Katara, another staff of the judge, reported The Indian Express. Mathura Gate SHO Ram Nath told TIE,
On the basis of the complaint, an FIR has been registered against Judge Jitendra Goliya and two others for rape and other charges under sections of POCSO Act. The investigation of the case has been handed over to a senior officer.
