The country’s Supreme Court has given a major verdict on the disputed decision of the Allahabad High Court. The Allahabad High Court said in its judgment that only catching breast catching cannot be considered a crime of rape. The Supreme Court on Wednesday stayed the controversial order of the Allahabad High Court, stating that catching the breasts of the minor and tearing the edge of his pajamas cannot be considered as an attempt to rape.
A bench of Justice BR Gawai and Justice Augustine George Christ said that they were upset with the fact that some of the comments made in the High Court order were completely insensitive and inhuman. There was a lack of sensitivity among those who write the decision. This decision was not taken immediately, rather it was pronounced 4 months after the verdict was reserved.
Report published in Times of India
According to the Supreme Court said that he is sorry for using harsh words for the judge, but this is a serious matter and the judge did not give this order in a transient impulse. Live Law quoted the Supreme Court bench as saying that the comments made in Para 24, 25, 26 are not acceptable as per law and reflect insensitivity, so we are in favor of blocking them. We are sending notices to the Center and Uttar Pradesh.
Notice sent to UP government
The bench took cognizance of the order of March 17 of the Allahabad High Court in this case and issued notices to the Central, Government of Uttar Pradesh and others in the proceedings initiated. The High Court on March 17 said in its order that not only catching the breasts and pulling the lower part of the pajamas is not under the purview of rape, but such crimes come under the purview of an attack against any woman or the use of criminal force. This order was given by Justice Ram Manohar Narayan Mishra on a petition filed by two persons. The accused had filed this petition challenging the order passed by the Special Judge of Kasganj.
What is the matter?
A woman from Kasangaj in Uttar Pradesh lodged a complaint in the court on 12 January 2022 that she was returning from a relative’s house with her 14 -year -old daughter in November 2021, when Pawan, Akash and Ashok of the village met her and asked her to walk home on a bike. The woman tried to go to her daughter by trusting them, but on the way the three tried to rape her. When the villagers reached there, the accused fled from there.
BJP
MP Mukesh Rajput on Wednesday raised the issue related to the order of a judge of the Allahabad High Court in the Lok Sabha and criticized it, stating that it could not be called a crime of rape. A Lok Sabha member from Farrukhabad in Uttar Pradesh raised this issue during the Zero Hour in the House and urged the government to take action against those who made such remarks. He said that the comments of the Allahabad High Court judge have hurt the sentiments of 140 million people of the country and women feel insecure. Such people should apologize to the women of the country.
