Activist challenges MUHS in HC over two-finger test guidelines, seeks govt response.

A recent development in the judicial system has seen an activist approaching the Nagpur bench of the Bombay High Court seeking a response from the Maharashtra University of Health Sciences (MUHS) and the state government regarding the Supreme Court guidelines on discontinuing the two-finger test. The activist has raised concerns about the implementation of the two-finger test, which is used to determine if a rape survivor is habitual to sex or not. The Supreme Court had issued guidelines in 2017, stating that the two-finger test is a violation of the survivor’s right to privacy and dignity. The activist has urged the court to ensure that these guidelines are strictly followed and that medical professionals are trained to handle such cases sensitively. This move comes in the wake of increasing awareness about the importance of protecting the rights and dignity of survivors of sexual assault. It remains to be seen how the MUHS and the state government will respond to these concerns raised by the activist. This development highlights the ongoing efforts to reform the legal and medical procedures surrounding cases of sexual violence in India.
