Justice Verma Committee Recommendations

The Supreme Court today refused to entertain a PIL seeking a direction to the Centre for implemention of the recommendations of the Justice J S Verma committee to bring into force fundamental duties of citizens

The Delhi government has appointed a Commission of Inquiry to address "unheeded" complaints of women by the police and tasked it to recommend action in cases of crime against women and amendments to existing laws.
