WWW.ghrs.in Press release at the time of conference 19th April, 2008 , Press Club of India (Delhi) .By Gender Human Rights Society ( Regd.)
A detailed memorandum regarding the evil DV LAW ( Protection of women from Domestic Violence act , 2005, effective from Oct 2006) will be given on the day of press conference to Law ministry, and copy to other relevant officials. Some of our demands about DV Law in short are . * Service providers and protection officers should be neutral and not women rights activists only ( Rule 2006 ) . * Protect Batra Vs Batra Supreme court Judgent. Do not through old persons out of own houses by DV Law. * Scrap DV Law, there are already sufficient legal provisions. Or review of DV Law by including organizations fighting for preventing misuse of bad women Laws. * Remove section 19 , that allows all men of costiliest house a women lived anytime in past, to be thrown on roads, by saying potentiality of verbal abuse. Presently extra maintenance for renting same standard house is already given by 125 CrPC . * Remove maintenace from DV Law section 20 , there are existing maintenance Laws . People now are wasting time in fighting 3 maintenance cases. (Meet victims at press conference) . * Remove section 22, money for mental trouble complaint leads to false complaints . * Complainant women never have to sign in DV Law, this encourages fasle allegations. To hide this and other important facts from anyone reading the DV Law a few times only, like parliament members or press, elaborate arrangements have been made by the evil drafters of the DV Law. Women should sign the complaint . * As per rule 2006.14.5 a man is not even allowed to speak his point of view. Remove this, infact rewrite rule 14 . * Plug loopholes that make it easy to illegally change the Domestic Incident report(DIR) in DV Law, introduce a register to keep record of DIR. Delhi High Court Judge R.K Gauba correctly says Domestic Violence Law a recipe for disaster ? in his detailed article in practical Lawyer. We salute his courage to take on the radical feminists agents in press. http://www.ebc-india.com/practicallawyer/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=6962&Itemid=1
Presently we are engaged in defending the Supreme Court Judgment of Batra Vs Batra of DV Law, to save old persons houses. Organizations like Lawyers collective, a womens rights Initiative, ( of Tenjing and Indira Jaising ) have started Internet signature campaigns asking for review of this SC Judgment, and no review of DV Law. They got 262 internet signatures till 19th April08 from 9th Dec 07.
Several organizations related to us has started an opposite signature campaign to protect this SC Judgment and asking for review of DV Law. Check some of our signatures at http://www.mynation.net/petition1/ (1 signature per computer allowed), we got several times their signatures in 2 weeks only. In DD debate on DV Law we got 88% votes against among the best feminists NGO’s of India. All our letters with signature campaigns from NGO’s to WCD (Ministry of women and child development) have not been replied. Latest RTI to WCD says DV Law is not under review
Presently Gender Laws should not be drafted by Ministry of Women and Child Development but should be drafted by Law ministry , in consultation with Judges( who are among the best persons to know and suggest about Laws) , and organizations fighting against misuse of these radical feminists wrong Laws should also be involved . Are foreigners drafting Indian Laws using WCD as puppet? is what we have to think Giving legal rights to women , and responsibilities to men, is not the way to do justice to them. Such biased, unequal treatment only leads to conflict and resentments. These Laws have caused harm to children , by forcing 1/3 of children in many countries to live in fatherless society, we can learn from their mistakes. Should we allow wrong radical feminists laws like IPC Section 498A( Dowry) , DV, destroy the only source of social security we have in India, which is the family? Should we hope that our Government will invent a better system than family to take care of the countless single mothers, fatherless children and helpless senior citizens it is creating, and if so, at what additional cost to the society? How many more innocent lives should we sacrifice before our Government and law enforcement system take steps to end legal terrorism of radical feminists new Law proposals and promote family-friendly laws. Which protect victims of Legal terrorism ?. Sandeep Bhartia, President Ph : 9971117829 |
