Despite strict penal provisions, crime against fairer sex has witnessed a manifold increase in recent times thus pushing the law makers to frame stricter laws. However, the newer set of laws has failed to curb atrocities against women hence forcing the law makers to think of an alternative way of dealing with what has become a social malaise.
Addressing a gathering in a seminar, Sohail Anwar, Advocate General said, "law alone cannot prevent rape and crime against women," and the social malaise can be stopped if educationist and other like minded people come forward.
law has its limitation and unless women get the respect which she deserves, crimes against them cannot be stopped, said Anwar in a seminar on “Can law Alone Prevent Rape & Atrocities against Women”.
Justice (Retired) Vikramadiya Prasad; l..N.Bhagat, Vice Chancellor, Ranchi University; Anand Bhushan, Chairman, Jharkhand Academic Council; A.K.Koul, Vice Chancellor, National University of Study & Research in law were among distinguished participated in the seminar.
