- (d) if so, the details thereof; and
- (e) if not, the reasons therefor?

## ANSWER

## Minister of State for  Law & Justice and Corporate Affairs (SHRI P.P. CHAUDHARY)

- (a)  to  (e):The  data  of  cases  related  to  divorce  and  atrocities  against  women  in lower courts are maintained by the concerned State Governments/High Courts.  As per  information  made  available  by  the  High  Courts  and  also  by  National  Crime Records Bureau, pending cases involving women which, inter alia, include divorce cases, are given State/UT-wise including Delhi at Annexure-I to Annexure-V.

No  time  limit  is  fixed  for  disposal  of  such  cases.    Section  12(5)  of  the Protection  of  Women  from  Domestic  Violence  Act,  2005  stipulates  that  the Magistrate shall endeavour to dispose of every application made under sub Section (1), within a period of sixty days from the date of its hearing.

The Government of India has promulgated 'The Criminal Law (Amendment) Ordinance, 2018 and has introduced amendments in the IPC, CrPC, The Indian Evidence Act and the POCSO Act and has brought in more stringent provisions for trial and disposal of cases involving women and children. Provision for  effective  deterrence  through  enhanced  punishment  in  the  Indian  Penal  Code including that relating to death penalty has been made. In order to eliminate delays in investigation, inquiry or trial due to postponement or adjournment of proceedings,  it  has  been  stipulated  that  the  investigation  of  all  rape  cases  be completed  within  two  months  from  the  date  of  lodging  the  First  Information Report and that trials of such cases are completed within two months by the trial courts, as far as possible.
