A Bombay High Court additional judge, who had delivered two controversial verdicts in sexual assault cases, had her tenure cut short by one year on Friday.
Justice Pushpa Ganediwala faced a lot of flak for her recent verdict where she ruled that groping without “skin-to-skin” contact does not qualify as sexual assault. She had acquitted a man accused of groping a 12-year-old girl's breast because he did not make “skin-to-skin contact”. On January 27, the Supreme Court stayed the Bombay High Court order acquitting the man after Attorney General K K Venugopal said the order would set a dangerous precedent.
