An activist has approached the Nagpur 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, a controversial practice used to determine the “habituation” of rape victims, has been criticized for being invasive, traumatic, and medically unreliable. The activist has urged the authorities to adhere to the SC guidelines that prohibit the use of this test in cases of sexual assault. The petition highlights the importance of respecting the dignity and rights of survivors of sexual violence. The court has directed MUHS and the government to provide their responses on the matter. This development comes in the wake of ongoing efforts to improve the handling of sexual assault cases in India and ensure that survivors receive proper medical care and support. The activist’s plea reflects a growing awareness of the need to reform outdated practices and uphold human rights standards in the country’s legal and healthcare systems. Stay tuned for updates on this important issue as the case unfolds in the High Court.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
