The Supreme Court of India has overturned a controversial judgment by the Calcutta High Court, which advised adolescent girls to control their sexual urges. This decision was made in response to the High Court's ruling in a case involving the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act. The Supreme Court also restored the conviction of a man who had been acquitted by the High Court for raping a minor girl with whom he had a romantic relationship. The original High Court judgment, delivered on October 18, 2023, had sparked significant backlash for its perceived insensitivity and victim-blaming stance.
