The Supreme Court of India has intervened in a controversial ruling by the Allahabad High Court, which stated that acts such as 'grabbing a child victim’s breasts' and 'breaking the string of her pyjamas' do not constitute rape or an attempt to rape. The Supreme Court described the High Court's decision as 'insensitive' and 'inhuman,' pausing the ruling and calling for accountability for the judge responsible. This intervention comes in response to public outcry regarding the implications of the High Court's judgment, which was delivered on March 17, 2025. The Supreme Court's decision aims to uphold the seriousness of sexual offenses and ensure that such acts are appropriately classified under the law.
