The Delhi High Court has plans to establish separate courts for rape victims. A division bench comprising Chief Justice Ajit Prakash Shah and Justice S. Muralidhar revealed that the high court has plans to set up nine courts initially, under the supervision of the district judge. This was in response to a complaint by Aparna Bhatt, counsel for the Delhi Commission for Women (DCW), that rape victims were forced to sit alongside undertrials at lunch, and while waiting for their matter to be heard, causing them further mental trauma. The Bench also said, "Till the proposal of separate courts gets approval, we will direct the judges to allow such victims to sit inside the court rooms."

The Court has been pro-active in recent times in promoting the welfare of victims of violent crimes. In an earlier order, the Court had ordered the Delhi Police and the DCW to set up a crisis intervention centre to help victims of incest, and also issued guidelines to investigators on how to counsel victims in a sensitive manner.

Mukta Gupta, Counsel for the Delhi Police, informed the courts that sexual forensic evidence kits have been distributed to all hospitals in Delhi, and that the Delhi Judicial Academy was running an orientation programme to sensitize members of the Child Welfare Committee. The Court approved of the measures taken by the police and ordered them to submit a status report on the next date of hearing, December 9.

Jaya Jha, a women's rights activist in Delhi, lauded the High Court's action, and suggested that, "A speedy trial, the presence of a woman police officer at all times and a sensitized approach to medical examination and questioning of the victim will be a welcome move. Kaya Eldridge's case has shown that our legal system has still not reached the requisite stage of awareness regarding a victim's trauma."
