The Supreme Court Chief Justice has said that the case had been misreported when he asked the rapist to marry the victim. “The Supreme Court has always respected women,” Chief Justice of India S.A. Babde said on Monday. The CJI made this statement during the hearing of the petition seeking abortion on behalf of 14-year-old pregnant 14-year-old rape victims. The Chief Justice said, ‘The Supreme Court respects women as an institution and as a tribunal in this Court.
Bobde said- This court has always held high regard for women. We have never heard of any accused marrying victims. We said, ‘Are you going to marry her? What we said in this case was completely false. ‘
In fact, last week, a three-judge bench of the Supreme Court, headed by Chief Justice Sharad Aravind Bobde, asked rape accused, “If you want to get married (to the victim), we can help you. You raped, raped the girl. “
Chief Justice Babdey was hearing the bail application of accused Mohit Subhash Chavan, who works as a technician at the Maharashtra State Electricity Company (MSEPC). A 14-year-old schoolgirl is accused of rape. Currently, the court has granted a four-week interim relief from arresting the accused of raping a girl on false promises of marriage.
