'Why suggest she invited trouble?': Supreme Court slams Allahabad HC's remarks in rape case

The Supreme Court on Tuesday strongly criticized the Allahabad High Court for its “objectionable” remarks in a rape case, questioning why the survivor was suggested to have "invited trouble." Taking suo motu cognizance of the judgment, the top court said such observations not only reflect outdated mindsets but risk undermining the dignity of survivors. The bench emphasized the need for sensitivity and responsibility in judicial language, particularly in cases of sexual violence.
