The State Of Punjab vs Gurmit Singh & Ors on 16 January, 1996

47. As pointed out by the Supreme Court in State of Punjab v. Gurmit Singh , victims of sexual harassment cannot be made to undergo a test of fire about their past conduct. It was observed by the Supreme Court in the said decision that even if the prosecutrix, in a given case, has been promiscuous in her sexual behaviour earlier, she cannot be made a prey for any one and everyone. Therefore, the observations made in the judgment of this Court in the Criminal Appeal filed by the Judicial Officer, about the consent of the petitioner, cannot form the basis for the disciplinary proceedings against the petitioner. As pointed out by the Supreme Court in Gurmit Singh, a woman subjected to sexual assault is not to be treated as an accomplice, but a victim.
