Supreme Court to examine Allahabad HC's 'not rape' ruling

IndiaTimes Wednesday, 26 March 2025
SC on Tuesday took suo motu cognisance of the controversial order passed by Allahabad HC, which had held that grabbing a minor girl's breasts and breaking her pyjama string were not enough to charge an accused with the offence of rape or attempt to rape. The matter will be heard on Wednesday by a bench of Justices B R Gavai and A G Masih.
