The Supreme Court emphasized the need for effective implementation of criminal law amendments post-Nirbhaya incident, particularly concerning the registration of FIRs under Section 154 of the Cr.P.C. The Court highlighted the importance of having woman police officers to record statements in cases of sexual offences, as mandated by the 2013 and 2018 amendments. It called for a status report on the operational effectiveness of these provisions to ensure a responsive criminal justice system in handling sexual offences.
