The Supreme Court initiated comprehensive proceedings concerning women's safety in Delhi NCR following reports of recent rape incidents. The Court examined the effectiveness of existing policing mechanisms, public infrastructure and administrative arrangements for preventing sexual offences. The proceedings focused on improving police patrolling, identifying vulnerable locations, conducting street-lighting and CCTV audits and ensuring timely repair of public infrastructure. The Court also considered concerns regarding shortages of police personnel and the effectiveness of existing anti-eve-teasing initiatives, including Shishtachar Squads. It examined the need for better verification of cab and bus drivers, stronger monitoring of public transport and improved coordination among different grievance-redressal platforms. The Court emphasised that women's safety cannot depend solely on investigation and prosecution after an offence has occurred; preventive policing and institutional accountability are equally important. It also considered technology-based mechanisms, including QR codes and geo-mapping, to verify police patrol activities. The proceedings reinforce the constitutional obligation of the State to protect life, dignity and personal liberty under Article 21 and promote effective preventive policing and safer public spaces.
