The Supreme Court on Tuesday slammed an observation made by the Allahabad High Court, which stated that a rape survivor had “herself invited trouble.” A bench led by Justice BR Gavai expressed serious concern over the insensitive language used in the bail order for the accused.
The Supreme Court also took note of the language used in the high court’s judgment and warned against making such comments, especially in cases of sexual assault. The top court then issued notices to the Centre, the Uttar Pradesh government, and other parties involved, seeking their responses. The matter will be heard again in four weeks.
