Under the provisions of the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005, which of the following statements regarding protection order is wrong?

Select one answer
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.
