Women’s safety measures: SC puts Centre, states on notice
New Delhi, January 2
The Supreme Court today sought the response of the Centre and all the
states within four weeks to a PIL that has cited about 50 recent
incidents of gruesome atrocities against women across the country to
seek a better legal system and recruitment of more women in the police
as part of a series of steps to deal with gender-based crimes.
A
three-member Bench headed by Justice P Sathasivam issued notice to all
the states, though the PIL has named only Haryana and four other states -
Delhi, Bihar, Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan - as respondents.
The petition has sought
Better legal system for women
All women police stations
Recruitment of more women in police
Citizens' involvement in policing
Steps against female foeticide
Security for women staying alone
Intensified night patrolling
Action against panchayats for honour killings
Prevention of trafficking of women
