Showing contexts for: Eve teasing in Gagandeep Singh vs State Of Punjab on 22 June, 2015Matching Fragments
Eve teasing is a grave problem. Petitioner had helped the eve teaser - Simranpreet Singh in his designs and was party to causing injuries to the father of the victim girl. Petitioner along with others and the eve teaser even did not care for the law enacted to stop eve teasing. It appears that eve teaser did not learn to respect the member of their mother's gender, rather called the other persons and resultantly showed masculinity and caused injuries to the father of the victim girl. The act of the eve teaser, petitioner and co-accused is a crime against the honour and dignity of a young girl who is in initial stages of her study. Eve teaser was not only harassing the girl, but also called petitioner and others to cause injury to the father of the girl. The unlawful act of the eve teaser and the participation of the petitioner and other co-accused in encouraging the eve teaser is apparent. This not only affects the victim girl and her parents physically, emotionally and mentally, it is also unlawful infringement on the privacy and person of the victim girl. The petitioner has encouraged the eve teaser which may curtail the right to enjoy life and pursue studies by the victim girl. The petitioner has rendered help to the eve teaser for encroachment on the victim girl's right to life and dignity. Petitioner and other co-accused not only humiliated, at that point of time, the victim girl publicly but also with a show of masculinity caused injury to the father of the victim. It may certainly affect the further studies and the career of the victim girl. It may also affect her right to life and free movement. It appears that petitioner has forgotten the rich matriarchal traditions of this country. Petitioner and other co-accused should do a soul searching that how they will feel if this happens to their mothers, sisters and daughters. The involvement of the petitioner in encouraging the eve teaser in committing the offence of eve teasing on streets does not deserve concession of anticipatory bail. Instead of advising their ward to resist from doing such acts, the petitioner and others were party to encourage the eve-teaser. It can be well imagined how the victim girl would be feeling when her father was being beaten by the petitioner and other co-accused. Pschy i.e. trauma to parents and victim girl can be also well imagined. The father has suffered serious injuries. The act of the petitioner and other co- accused is pernicious, horrid and disgusting. The petitioner does not deserve concession of anticipatory bail.
