…by our esteemed Supreme Court.
The Supreme Court has held that unlike the charge of attempt to murder, the Indian Penal Code does not recognise the charge of attempt to rape. Rape is said to have been committed only if a man inserts his sexual organ into the victim. Any other act only qualifies for the offence of outraging a woman or child’s modesty.
How about a failed attempt to blow up Parliament? Would that be terrorism or merely an offence of outraging our nationalistic and patriotic sensibilities. After we can use Freud to justify how the bullet/bomb is akin to a (male) ‘sex organ’ and how Parliament is a woman!
or indeed a failed attempt to evade taxes? I can just imagine the defence.
