The Supreme Court has expressed displeasure over the Kolkata High Court's advice to girls suggesting them to control their desire for sex. The SC emphasized that courts should refrain from offering personal opinions or advice while delivering judgments and stated that the High Court's comments were highly objectionable and unnecessary, constituting a violation of fundamental rights under Article 21.
The court appointed
advocate Madhavi Diwan as Amicus Curiae and sought clarification from the state
government if they intend to file an appeal against the High Court's decision.
The government's counsel is directed to inform the court about their stance.
Previously,
the Kolkata High Court, in a ruling regarding a case of sexual harassment with
a minor, had stated that girls should control their desire for sex and not
focus on fleeting pleasures, which the Supreme Court found objectionable.
Additionally, the court had advised boys to respect the dignity of girls. The
accused boy, after making statements acknowledging consensual sexual relations
with the girl, was acquitted of charges related to the POCSO Act.
The
High Court had underscored the importance of parental guidance for teenagers
and advocated for comprehensive sex education. It stressed the inclusion of
topics such as reproductive health, hygiene, and related aspects as essential
components in the curriculum of every school.
