Supreme Court stays Allahabad High Court’s observations over rape , terms them ‘insensitive ‘
March 26, 2025
The Supreme Court of India on Wednesday (March 26) stayed the observations made in an order of the Allahabad High Court which said mere grabbing of the breast and pulling the string of a ‘pyjama’ do not amount to the offence of rape. A bench of Justices BR Gavai and Augustine George Masih today observed that it was painful to say that some of the observations made in the high court order depicted total ‘insensitiveness’ and an ‘inhuman approach’.
