A Lucknow High Court judge said that grabbing breasts and breaking pyjamas is not enough to call it rape. This decision has angered people across the country. Senior lawyer Kapil Sibal criticized the ruling, saying, “With such judges adorning the Bench, God save this country!” He also blamed the Supreme Court for not taking strict action against such judges. Many legal experts and activists believe this kind of judgment makes the fight against sexual violence weaker.
A letter to the Chief Justice of India (CJI) urged the immediate removal of a judge who stated that grabbing a woman’s breast is not enough to constitute a rape allegation. The remark created nationwide outrage, with activists and legal experts condemning it as a dangerous precedent. Critics argue that such statements undermine the seriousness of sexual assault cases and violate the spirit of justice. The controversy has intensified calls for judicial accountability and gender-sensitive legal interpretations.
