CAW Cell- Functions & Procedures

How Things Go About In The CAW Cells

Step One

A married woman goes complaining to the Crime Against Women Cell (CAW Cell) of the area in which she resides, permanently and/ or temporarily, against dowry demand(s) and/ or cruelty(ies) of any nature, what so ever, mental and/ or physical, at the hands of her in-laws- husband, father-in-law, mother-in-law, brother-in-law(s), sister-in-law(s), etc. 

Step Two

Crime Against Women Cell (CAW Cell) encourages the Complainant, married woman, to give her Complaint in writing. CAW Cell then enters the said written Complaint in its register, as maintained by it in the CAW Cell.  

Step Three

Crime Against Women Cell (CAW Cell) summons the in-laws of the Complainant, married woman by way of formal summons and/ or telephonically. They ask the women also to be present on the designated day/ date and time of summoning.

Step Four

Crime Against Women Cell (CAW Cell) tries to make good sense prevail on all concerned and try and get the dispute and difference of all sorts patched up amongst the woman and her in-laws. A written amicably arrived at Settlement is also written and signed by the woman and her in-laws. Things end on a good note in this event of scenario. 

Step Six

Crime Against Women Cell (CAW Cell) sends a failure report to its concerned superiors, if the things are not amicably resolved amongst the woman and her in-laws. Besides, the CAW Cell forwards the Complaint of the woman to the concerned Police Station for registration of a regular FIR. With this recommendation for registration of the FIR in the matter, the role of the CAW Cell comes to an end.
