FirstpostThe observation was made by a bench headed by Justice U U Lalit which was hearing a plea seeking adequate infrastructure across the country for providing effective legal aid to women abused in matrimonial homes and creating shelter homes for them. New Delhi: The Supreme Court Wednesday said the government should always have the “financial impact” in mind while coming up with any scheme and referred to the Right to Education Act by observing that it is a classic example where a right has been created but “where are the schools”. The top court is seized of a plea filed by an organisation, “We The Women of India” seeking adequate infrastructure under the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act across the country for providing effective legal aid to women abused in matrimonial homes and creating shelter homes for them post lodging of complaints against husbands and in-laws. “As per the National Crime Records Bureau report for the year 2019, out of 4.05 lakh reported cases categorised under ‘crimes against women, over 30 per cent were domestic violence cases,” the plea has said.
