SC takes suo motu cognisance of controversial Allahabad HC order on rape - Business Standard

Quick Summary:

The Supreme Court has taken cognisance on its own of a controversial Allahabad High Court ruling that mere grabbing of the breast and pulling the string of a 'pyjama' do not amount to offence of rape.

Legal experts had deplored the observation of the Allahabad High Court on what constitutes a rape charge, calling for a restraint by judges and underlining the drop in public confidence in the judiciary due to such statements.

A bench of Justices B R Gavai and Augustine George Masih is slated to hear the matter on Wednesday.
