    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, as you said, we completely retained the substance. Including the names of all these persons is, again, being restrictive. We have allowed any persons, subject to the leave of the courts. Whoever feels that they need to apply to protect a child can seek leave of the court to do so. We have included parent, guardian, probation officer, police officer, person acting on behalf of an NGO concerned with the welfare of victims of domestic violence. As hon. Members can see, we have already taken care of most of the ones that I have mentioned. In addition to that, we have provided that, with the leave of court, any other person including a Member of Parliament, can go to court and say that they want a child to be protected; because one possibly has some affinity or nexus towards that child. Therefore, we have even made it wider rather than make it restrictive in the manner in which it had been done before. Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman."
