I have watched several episodes of the series Suits in which US
Courts issue Temporary Restraining Orders (TROs) being emergency
orders often granted ex-parte (without the respondent's
present) in favour of plaintiffs. Celebrities like Miley Cyrus,
Selena Gomez, Ryan Gosling, Harry Styles, Rihanna and Halle Berry
have all successfully obtained TROs from the Courts against
people/fans who engaged in trespassing, stalking, intimidating them
or similar conduct. Most celebrity TROs in the US are granted in
response to stalking, harassment, trespassing, and threatening
behavior by overly persistent or obsessed fans or individuals.
This raises the important question of why such orders are not
commonly issued in India to deal with cases of stalking, harassment
or the situation where the applicant finds himself/herself in a
potentially threatening relationship. While India has the
Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005, which
empowers courts to issue protection
