💨 Abstract

The Supreme Court has stayed parts of an Allahabad High Court order that reduced rape charges to assault, finding the judgment showed a lack of sensitivity and application of mind. The HC order, which lowered charges against two men accused of grabbing a girl's breasts, breaking her pyjama strings, and trying to drag her under a culvert, was criticized for its insensitive approach.
