An activist in Nagpur has filed a petition in the High Court seeking a response from Maharashtra University of Health Sciences (MUHS) and the state government regarding the implementation of Supreme Court guidelines on discontinuing the two-finger test for sexual assault survivors. The activist has raised concerns about the use of this outdated and invasive medical procedure, which has been widely criticized for being unscientific and traumatic for survivors. The two-finger test involves a doctor inserting two fingers into a woman’s vagina to determine her sexual history and whether she has been raped. The Supreme Court had issued guidelines in 2013 directing all states to stop the use of this test as evidence in sexual assault cases. However, the activist claims that the guidelines have not been effectively implemented in Maharashtra, putting the rights and dignity of survivors at risk. The petition highlights the need for the state government and MUHS to take immediate action to comply with the Supreme Court’s directives and ensure that survivors of sexual assault are treated with sensitivity and respect. The High Court is expected to hear the petition and issue directions to the authorities to address these concerns and uphold the rights of survivors in line with established legal norms and protocols.
