In a big win for victims of sexualharassment who find the courage to speak up after years of the crime, the Delhi court Wednesday acquitted journalist Priya Ramani in the criminal defamation case filed by former union minister M J Akbar.
Reading out the order, the court said that there are social stigma attached with the allegations.
Society must understand the impact of sexualabuse and harassment on its victims, and added, A woman has right to put her grievance even after decades.
Taking cognisance of the lack of mechanisms to raise sexualharassment complaints, the court said The Indian constitution allows women to put forward her grievances before any forum and at any time.
