    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, in simple language what we are seeking to do in this Protection Against Domestic Violence Bill is to create a substantive law to deal with those criminal activities that are committed within a domestic set-up. The issue of regulation of procedure is already contained in the Civil Procedure Code and the Criminal Procedure Code. If somebody has breached a court order, which is a criminal matter, the procedure on how the applications would be brought to court is already set out in the Criminal Procedure Code. I will be speaking to this again in the subsequent clauses. Even on issues of appeal, they are contained in the rules that have already been established in court. So, it is not necessary for us to reproduce the same rules and put them here. When the rules change, it should be left to the Rules Committee as contained in Clause 46 where we have provided for it very clearly. Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
