Ram Manohar Narayan Mishra | Top Court Pauses "Grabbing Breasts Not Rape Attempt" Verdict

Описание: The Supreme Court of India has paused a controversial ruling from the Allahabad High Court that stated actions such as grabbing a minor’s breasts and pulling the string of her pyjama do not amount to an attempt to commit rape. The Supreme Court, underlining a "total lack of sensitivity," expressed its concern over the observations made by Justice Ram Manohar Narayan Mishra in the High Court's judgment delivered on March 17.

The bench, comprising Justice BR Gavai and Justice Augustine George Masih, stated that they were "pained" by the remarks and sought responses from both the Centre and the Uttar Pradesh government regarding the matter. The court noted that the judgment appeared to reflect a serious insensitivity and was delivered four months after reserving it, indicating that there was an application of mind.

"We are pained to state that it shows a total lack of sensitivity on the part of the author of the judgment. It was not even at the spur of the moment and was delivered four months after reserving the same. Thus, there was application of mind. We are usually hesitant to grant stay at this stage. But since observations in paragraphs 21, 24 and 26 is unknown to cannons of law and shows inhuman approach, we stay the observations in said paras," the court ordered.
