HC: Only women staff to deal with sex crime cases

The circular points out that in such cases, women are victims of the crime and in order to enable them to give their evidence in a “stress-free” atmosphere and without any fear or embarrassment, all staff members, including bench clerks, stenographers, interpreters, typist-cum-clerks, havildar and peons, will be women. The circular issued by Registrar-General SB Shukre added, “March 8 being Women’s Day, the Chief Justice has directed that the above instructions be implemented immediately.”
