A blog post by Ishika Garg can be found on our website.

Here’s an excerpt:

“There have been rising concerns about custodial violence in India, especially since the 2018-19 NHRC report stated there were almost 2000 cases of custodial death in India during the year. (NHRC Report, 2018-19) At times, the hope of extracting confessions is what tempts police officials to resort to unfair means.

Here’s an excerpt:

“While it retains the character of the instrument of the colonizer, on the one hand, thereby perpetuating oppression and marginalization, it schizophrenically also fuels the promise of transformation of a highly unjust and unequal society. It thus acts as a double-edged sword- for the emancipation of and justice for, the marginalized on the one hand, and for the reinforcement…”

Here’s an excerpt:

“The concepts of “hurt” and “grievous hurt” are discussed in vivid detail under Sections 319-338 of the Indian Penal Code (“IPC”, 1860). There is a multitude of ways in which simple or grievous hurt can be inflicted upon a person, due to which the IPC has broadly classified these offences into many divisions such as hurt or grievous hurt caused by dangerous weapons or dangerous means, to extort property, on provocation, by means…”

This Domestic Violence Awareness Month, Vidhi Sahayak is here with a campaign!

The police are duty-bound to register an F.I.R. even if it doesn’t fall within their territorial jurisdiction. After recording an F.I.R., the police authorities may transfer it to the police station under the proper jurisdiction. However, if they fail to do so, one can approach the court having jurisdiction over the particular police station where the F.I.R. has been recorded.
