Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Tuesday said that the government departments were meticulously reviewing the provisions of the Shakti Bill, which provides for stringent punishment for crimes against women, to determine if it will surpass Central acts.
Speaking in the legislative council, Fadnavis said it was important to assess whether the Shakti Bill’s provisions would clash with the guidelines established by the Supreme Court through various verdicts.
