The Allahabad High Court recently noted that the trend of women filing false rape allegations against men in their first information reports (FIRs) must be addressed sternly.
A bench of Justice Anjani Kumar Mishra and Justice Vivek Kumar Singh said, “The practice of lodging such first information reports and falsely making serious allegations of rape cannot be permitted. Such a practice has to be dealt with a heavy hand.”
The Allahabad High Court last week imposed a cost of Rs. 10K on a woman who admittedly lodged a First Information Report (FIR) against 4 men falsely accusing them of committing the offences of rape,.
