Under the provisions of the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005, which of the following statements regarding protection order is wrong?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer C
Section 31 of the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005 makes breach of a protection order or interim protection order by the respondent an offence, and section 32(1) makes that offence cognizable and non-bailable. The statement "Breach of protection order is a non-cognizable offence" is therefore wrong. Section 32(2) allows the court to conclude, on the sole testimony of the aggrieved person, that an offence under section 31(1) has been committed.
