00:00More news, the Supreme Court is staying the bizarre High Court order on rape bid, Allahabad
00:11High Court is grabbing rest and no rape remark, Supreme Court says complete lack of sensitivity,
00:17breaking pyjama strings is not the rape bid, pulling it off is not a bid to rape, had the
00:22hats at the High Court, Supreme Court is upset saying that the High Court judge clearly didn't
00:28apply his mind, Srishti has more, Srishti the Supreme Court is echoing the thoughts of what
00:33just so many of us thought isn't it, that the High Court just was so insensitive in those comments,
00:40it's a very important observation after from the Supreme Court today, Srishti.
00:46Well definitely Sneha when the Allahabad High Court order had come out making the
00:51making the remarks that it made in its order and the observations that were made in that
00:56order, you know there was a huge debate around it, the order was called out,
01:01criticised and even lawyers, several lawyers that we've spoken to had told us that the judge
01:04has been completely insensitive, especially in the case where we're talking about a case of
01:09sexual offence against a minor child, now the Supreme Court decided to take
01:15pseumotocognizance after a letter was written by a senior lawyer and an organisation,
01:20flagging the order and asking the court to take pseumotocognizance, the court has to
01:25state the remarks in three of the paragraphs, calling it insensitive, we're talking about the
01:30remarks as you read out which included observations like even grabbing breasts of a minor,
01:36of the minor girl, undoing her pyjama strings, grabbing her, dragging her to the culvert etc.
01:41would not be enough for the charges for them to raise, so all these observations as of now
01:47have been stated, the court has issued notice to Union of India and the state of UP who will
01:51have to file their responses and the court is likely to hear this case again after two weeks,
01:56but definitely a big order from the top court considering the very first hearing they've decided
02:01to take a call and state these observations as of now, back to you.
02:05Thanking you for the moment, Shristi Hoja getting us up to speed with those details.
