The Financial Express, English
Business daily from Indian Express Group published an article ‘Losing DISHA’
related to AP’s bill. The Daily exposed drawbacks in framing the DISHA Bill and
gave alert to Union Government.
The Bill, named after the female
veterinarian raped and killed by four men in Hyderabad last year, provides for
the disposal of cases of atrocities against women within 21 days and the death
penalty for offences of rape. It also
reduces the period for disposal of appeal cases related to rape cases against
women and children from six months to three months. The Financial Express feel
the bill appears to sound for safety and fast-tracking justice for women. With
time bound trail justice can’t be done to the victims. The bill can face many
legal complications to become an Act.
Centre sends back the DISHA Bill to
AP Government and asked for amendments to the bill. But YSRCP leaders made this
as positive campaign for Jagan. All women representatives praised the Jagan
like anything without go into the details of the Bill. YSRCP government was
already opened police station in the name of ‘DISHA’ in Rajahmundry without
getting final approval from Centre on this Act. It is surprised that atrocities
reported more in number after DISHA passed in AP Assembly.
