Under The Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act 2005 a Protection Officer is provided so as to aid the victim with legal procedures and support, including medical assistance and counselling. The aggrieved women can complain to the Protection Officer in event of further incidences after which the Protection Officer prepares a Domestic Incident Report on the basis of which necessary action is taken. The order is granted under Section 18 of the act which can direct the respondents from not committing any other acts of violence against the complainant.
