High Court Verdict Advising Young Girls To Control Sexual Urges

The Supreme Court today set aside an order of the Calcutta High Court in which it acquitted an accused in a sexual assault case and made "objectionable" observations advising adolescent girls to "control sexual urges".

The Supreme Court on Thursday observed that certain paragraphs in a Calcutta High Court verdict, advising young girls to "control sexual urges", were "problematic" and writing such judgments was "absolutely wrong".
