NEW DELHI: The National Commission for Women on Monday said it will challenge in the Supreme Court the Bombay high court judgment which said groping without skin to skin contact is not sexual assault as defined under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act.
This judgment will not only have a cascading effect on various provisions involving safety and security of women in general but also subject all women to ridicule, National Commission for Women (NCW) Chairperson Rekha Sharma said.
It has trivialised the legal provisions provided by the legislature for the safety and security of women, she said.
