PoliticsSC Criticizes Patna HC Ruling on Salwar Removal and Rape Attempt
The Supreme Court, led by Chief Justice Surya Kant, criticized a Patna High Court ruling that removing a woman’s salwar and pressing her chest did not amount to an attempt to rape. The SC issued notice to the accused, who had been acquitted. The HC had said such acts could only be assault or use of criminal force under IPC Section 354, not rape attempt.
