Make police aware of changes in laws, rules related to minors?
Make police aware of changes in laws, rules related to minors?
The Bombay High Court on Monday emphasised the need for the state government to make its police force aware of changes in laws and said police should always work towards the welfare of the victim, especially in cases that involved minors or women. A division bench of Justices N H Patil and G S Kulkarni had earlier this month, while permitting a minor victim of rape to terminate her 24-week pregnancy, sought to know from the Maharashtra government if any circular or guidelines were issued to the police on how to handle such cases.
