Supreme Court angry on the Allahabad High Court’s order to ‘touch the girl’s chest and pull the lower part of her pajamas’

The Supreme Court has stayed the decision of the Allahabad High Court. The Supreme Court has stayed the controversial decision given by the Allahabad High Court in a rape case. In fact, the High Court had said in its order that catching a girl’s chest or pulling the waistband of her pajamas and tearing is not enough evidence of allegations of rape attempt. During the hearing, the Supreme Court also questioned the sensitivity of the judge who wrote such an order.

The Supreme Court said that we are sad to know that there has been a lack of sensitivity among those who write this decision. This decision was not taken immediately but was declared four months after the decision was reserved. We usually hesitate to delay this level, but the things said in Para 21, 24 and 26 are not in the law and reflect the lack of humanity. We are blocking the comments made in this paragraph.

An organization called ‘We the Women of India’ objected to the decision and later the Supreme Court took suo cognizance of the case. While hearing the decision given by the Allahabad High Court, Justice BR A bench of Gawai and Justice Augustine George Christ banned the decision.

The Supreme Court has sought answers from the Central Government and the Uttar Pradesh government on this matter. Also, Attorney General R.K. Venkataramani and Solicitor General Tushar Mehta have also been sought cooperation. Justice Bela Trivedi and Justice Prasanna B. Varale’s bench refused to hear the PIL filed against the Allahabad High Court order on 24 March.

What was the decision of Allahabad High Court?

A bench of Allahabad High Court Justice Ram Manohar Narayan Mishra made this comment, partially accepting the revision petition filed by both the accused. That is, touching a girl’s chest and pulling the waistband of her pajamas cannot be considered an attempt to rape. The accused challenged the lower court order in the revision petition. The trial court convicted him under Section 376 (attempt to rape) as well as Section 18 of the Poxo (Poxo) Act from Section 376 (attempt to rape) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC).
