In a controversial ruling, the Rajasthan High Court stated that the act of removing a minor girl's underwear and getting naked in front of her does not constitute an attempt to commit rape. The judgment was delivered in a case dating back 33 years, involving an alleged assault on a six-year-old girl. The court emphasized that for an act to be considered attempted rape under Sections 376 and 511 of the IPC, the accused must progress beyond mere preparation and take concrete steps towards the offense. This decision has sparked widespread debate and criticism.
