MUMBAI: The state government should move the Centre to repeal the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act if it can not implement it, said an angry Bombay high court on Tuesday.
Hearing a PIL by advocate Rajendra Anbhule, a division bench of Justice Abhay Oka and Justice A S Chandurkar was exasperated at the "government failure" to appoint protection officers (POs) in eight years. The judges said there was a gross breach of court orders.
Justice Oka said even if the court took action for contempt, nothing would happen. "You make the court absolutely helpless," he said.
The court was irked that the state was seeking six months more to appoint 216 POs in talukas saying recruitment rules had to be framed.
