SC must take note: WCD minister on Allahabad HC ruling on rape
Hindustan Times Bengaluru
|March 22, 2025
Union minister for women and child development (WCD) Annpurna Devi on Friday urged the Supreme Court to intervene in the Allahabad high court judge's controversial verdict on what constitutes as an attempt to rape, saying the ruling "has no place in a civilised society".
NEW DELHI:
"I don't support this decision. The Supreme Court should also take note of this decision because it will have adverse impact on a civil society. It has no place in a civilised society," Devi said on the verdict by high court judge Ram Manohar Narayan Mishra.
A controversy erupted on Thursday over Justice Mishra's ruling that a man grabbing an 11-year-old girl's breasts, breaking her pyjama strings and dragging her under a culvert are not enough to charge him with attempt to rape.
