The Supreme Court today said that states would have to set up two designated courts in districts where the number of pending cases of child abuse under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act is more than 300.<br />'' <br />'' &nbsp;A bench of Justices Deepak Gupta and Aniruddha Bose made it clear that an earlier direction of the apex court for setting up one court in each district having more than 100 FIRs under POCSO Act meant that it has to be a designated court to deal with only such cases under the law.<br />'' <br />'' The bench said that in case there is less number of cases under the POCSO Act in a particular district, the special court might also deal with other cases such as rape.&nbsp;<br />'' &nbsp;<br />
