'Malda (WB): For the first time in the country, a court having woman judges and staff to deal exclusively with atrocities against women was inaugurated today at Malda town in West Bengal.

The court would hear all cases of atrocities against women for delivering speedy justice, officials said.

Chief Justice of Calcutta High Court Justice Arun Mishra inaugurated the court on the birthday anniversary of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose whose Azad Hind Fauj (Indian National Army) had many women who fought along side men against the British.

The setting up of the court in Malda is significant as the district tops the list of women trafficking cases and atrocities against the fairer sex in the state.'
