An activist from Nagpur has filed a petition in the High Court seeking a response from the Maharashtra University of Health Sciences (MUHS) and the state government regarding the implementation of Supreme Court guidelines on discontinuing the two-finger test. The two-finger test, which is used to determine the elasticity of the vagina in cases of sexual assault, has been widely criticized for being unscientific and violating the dignity of women. The activist has urged the authorities to adhere to the guidelines laid down by the Supreme Court and to stop the use of this outdated and invasive practice. The petition highlights the need for proper training of medical professionals in conducting sensitive and non-invasive examinations of sexual assault survivors. The issue of discontinuing the two-finger test has gained momentum in recent years, with several states already banning its use. The activist is hopeful that the High Court will take cognizance of the matter and direct MUHS and the state government to respond to the petition. This move is seen as a step towards ensuring that survivors of sexual assault are treated with dignity and respect, and that the legal and medical systems are aligned with the best practices recommended by the Supreme Court.
