Separate courts have been set up to register cases
Generally, those people take refuge in the court, whose complaints are not heard in the police station. Frustrated, they take refuge in the court and hope for justice. Complaints are filed in the court of Chief Judicial Magistrate in Civil Court Deoghar, while cases are filed in the court of SDJM Madhupur in Sub-Divisional Civil Court Madhupur. Apart from these two courts, powers have been given to Special Court ADJ I for Dalit atrocities cases, Special Court ADJ II for Cyber Fraud and IT Act cases and Special Court ADJ III for POCSO Act cases. Aggrieved parties file their complaints in these courts with the sole desire to get justice. Although most of the cases are kept for hearing in the court itself, but serious cases are sent to the concerned police station for registering FIR and investigation. An affidavit is filed by those filing the case, in which it has to be mentioned that no action has been taken on their applications at the administrative level, hence they are filing the case in the court. Looking at the data of 320 days, it becomes clear that more than one thousand cases have been registered only by women. Women are more intellectually and legally aware, that is why they go out of the box and take refuge in the court to punish those who commit crimes against them. Of the registered cases, 241 cases have been executed in Deoghar and 87 in Madhupur. To put it in other words, there has been a settlement in a total of 328 cases. Out of these, 196 women in Deoghar and 56 in Madhupur i.e. a total of 252 women have withdrawn their cases.
