Question

Consider the following statements :

The Judges (Inquiry) Bill 2006, contemplates to establish a judicial council, which will receive complaints against judges of the Supreme Court including the CJI, chief justice and judges of High Courts.

If any proclamation of financial emergency is in operation, it is competent for the President of India to issue directions for the reduction of salaries and allowances of all or any class of persons serving in connection with the affairs of the union, but excluding the judges of the Supreme Court and High Courts.

Under the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act 2005, a woman can file a petition before a first class judicial magistrate.

Which of the above statement(s) is/ are correct?

Options:

A . 1 and 3

B . 3 only

C . 2 and 3

D . 1, 2, and 3

Answer: Option B
Answer: (b)
The Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act 2005 differs from the earlier law, Section 498A of the Indian Penal Code, in that explicitly defines domestic violence in addition to dowry-related cruelty.
Domestic violence is defined as follows:
For the purposes of this Act, any conduct of the respondent shall constitute domestic violence if he,
habitually assaults or makes the life of the aggrieved person miserable by cruelty of conduct even if such conduct does not amount to physical ill-treatment;
forces the aggrieved person to lead an immoral life;
otherwise injures or harms the aggrieved person.
In such cases, a woman can file a petition before a first class judicial magistrate.
