Supreme Court of India has directed All States to depute lady constables at Bus Stations, Railway Stations, Metro Stations, Cinema Halls to prevent Eve Teasing. If any State is not implementing these directions, legal actions can be taken.
These directions came in case of Inspector General of Police Versus S. Samuthiram [reported in 2013 [1] SCC 598] date of decision 30.11.2012 (Hon'ble Justice K.S.Radhakrishnan and Hon'ble Justice Dipak Misra)
Supreme Court has directed/ordered as pointed out below.
"Para 34.1 All the Statement Government and Union Territories are directed to depute plain clothed female Police Officers in the precincts of bus-stands and stops, railway stations, metro stations, cinema theatres, shopping malls, parks, beaches, public service vehicles, places of worship etc. so as to monitor and supervise incidents of eve-teasing. "
If violation of above directions of Supreme Court are noticed by a public spirited Citizen and if desires to take a steps, it is advisable that he should first bring the violation to the notice of concerned District Collector and District Superintendent of Police and should give them reasonable time to take necessary steps.
This can be seen from Para 34.8 as under:
"34.8 The State Governments and Union Territories of India would take adequate and effective measures by issuing suitable instructions to the authorities concerned including the District Collector and the District Superintendent of Police so as to take effective and proper measures to curb such incidents of eve-teasing
