NEW DELHI: A Public Interest Litigation (PIL) has been filed before the Delhi High Court alleging that the Delhi Commission for Women (DCW) has remained non-functional and inaccessible for a prolonged period, resulting in continuing violation of the constitutional and statutory rights of women in the national Capital.
The plea seeks urgent judicial intervention to restore the physical and administrative functioning of the DCW, which have allegedly become “operationally defunct” due to executive inaction and absence of leadership.
The PIL states that despite the DCW’s statutory mandate to protect women against violence, abuse, exploitation and discrimination, repeated attempts to access the Commission at its notified premises during regular working hours revealed that the office was “closed and unmanned, with no Helpdesk, officers or staff available for receipt or processing of grievances”.
