Domestic violence against women is an omnipresent fact to maintain and reinforce women’s subordination. For the last few decades, many women’s groups started movement throughout the world resulting in many initiatives by the international community especially the United Nations resulting in directions to all State parties to the Conventions to take immediate steps to control and eradicate this evil by modifying the existing laws comprehensively or by enacting new laws in this regard. The Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005 is the resultant Indian law to address the issue of domestic violence to impart justice and relief to its victims. It has reduced the procedural formalities by providing for an inbuilt mechanism to facilitate the entire system of access to justice. It identifies specific functionaries like the protection officers and service providers whose primary duty is to assist women in accessing reliefs provided under the Act. The Act confers similar responsibilities on Police by specifying their duties and powers in these cases. The present paper deals with the role of Police in the implementation of the Act, their approach and difficulties, and suggestions for improvement. Some data, collected by the author for her Ph.D. research, have been used to highlight the issues. – Reproduced
