Supreme Court objects to Allahabad High Court observation that rape victim invited trouble

The Supreme Court has expressed its objection to an observation made by the Allahabad High Court in a rape case, stating that the rape victim had "invited trouble." The Supreme Court's strong disapproval of such a remark highlights its firm stance against victim-blaming and any judicial pronouncements that might suggest a victim's culpability in the crime. The apex court's intervention underscores the importance of judicial sensitivity and adherence to principles of justice that hold the perpetrator solely responsible for the act of rape. This objection serves as a significant message to lower courts regarding the appropriate language and perspective to be adopted in cases of sexual assault.
