New Delhi: The Supreme Court made an exception to the observations of the Allahabad High Court judge on Tuesday, with the rape case saying the complainant “invited the trouble himself” and wondering why the judge had to do such a review when he heard a bail request.
Justices Br Gavai and Augustine George Masih said: “Another High Court judge passed another order…if a person wants to be bail, but why should he observe that she invites trouble and so on.
The Allahabad High Court judge recently observed that the complainant “had inviting trouble himself” when he was released on bail to the petitioner, agreeing to go to the petitioner’s home after getting drunk.
“After listening to the lawyers of the parties and reviewing the matter as a whole, I found that both the victim and the applicant were the principal. Both the victim and the applicant were the principal. The Allahabad High Court judge added.
The Supreme Court’s observation was heard in a March 17 Allahabad High Court order The purpose of the Suo Motu case was to say in another case that the High Court said grabbing breasts and pulling women’s “Pajamas” (Lowers) does not constitute a crime of rape attempt.
The Supreme Court made aware of the matter after the notice from Chief Justice of India, Sanjiv Khanna. It has said that some observations in that order reflect the total “insensitive” and “inhuman approach”.
Lawyer Tushar Mehta asked an average person how to view this observation.
The bench was adjourned for four weeks in the Suo Motu case.
