An activist has approached 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 implementation of Supreme Court guidelines on discontinuing the two-finger test for sexual assault. The activist has filed a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) highlighting the necessity of adhering to the SC guidelines that prohibit the use of the controversial two-finger test in cases of sexual assault. The two-finger test, which involves a medical examination of rape survivors to determine their past sexual history, has been widely criticized for being invasive, traumatic, and lacking scientific validity. The PIL underscores the importance of respecting the dignity and rights of survivors of sexual violence. The activist has urged the MUHS and the state government to provide a detailed response on the steps taken to ensure compliance with the SC guidelines and to protect the rights of survivors. The case is expected to spark a debate on the need for appropriate medical protocols and sensitivity in handling cases of sexual assault.
