After recording her statement, as she was leaving, the magistrate purportedly called her back and allegedly asked her to strip to show her injuries. The survivor refused, stating discomfort in removing her clothes in front of a male magistrate.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The survivor filed a complaint against the magistrate on 30-03-2024, alleging wrongful confinement under Section <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001561658\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">345<\/a> of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0002726960\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Penal Code, 1860<\/a> (IPC) and violations of the Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act. An FIR was lodged against the magistrate under Sections <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001561668\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">354(A)<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001561668\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">354(B)<\/a> of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0002726960\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">IPC<\/a> and Sections 3(1)(w), 3(2)(va), and 3(2)(vii) of the SC\/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court acknowledged the seriousness of the allegations but emphasised the need for a fair investigation and the protection of the judiciary&#8217;s image. The Court refrained from making comments on the freedom of the press but underscored the need for responsible reporting to prevent prejudice against the judiciary. The Court noted that media coverage should be regulated to prevent undue influence on public perception.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court stayed coercive action against Judicial Magistrate until May 27-05-2024 and directed electronic and print media to refrain from sensationalizing the issue. The Court issued notices to the State Government, Union Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, State Chief Secretary, Home Secretary, DGP, SP Karauli, and the victim seeking their response. The matter is scheduled for further hearing on 27-05-2024.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%; font-weight: bold;\">Source: Press<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"color: #000080;\">Buy Penal Code, 1860 &nbsp; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ebcwebstore.com\/product_info.php?products_id=1158\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">HERE<\/a><\/h3>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ebcwebstore.com\/product_info.php?products_id=1158\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/penal-code-1860-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"penal code, 1860\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-294601\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/penal-code-1860-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/penal-code-1860-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/penal-code-1860-440x293.jpg 440w, https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/penal-code-1860-650x433.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/penal-code-1860.jpg 886w, https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/penal-code-1860-60x40.jpg 60w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p style=\"font-style: italic;\">Rajasthan High Court directed the media to refrain from sensationalizing the case, emphasizing the need to avoid tarnishing the image of the judiciary.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":67514,"featured_media":314824,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1188,2],"tags":[37718,67438,33037,67437,67439,2575],"class_list":["post-319828","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-hot_off_the_press","category-news","tag-coercive-action","tag-dalit-gang-rape","tag-judicial-magistrate","tag-justice-anil-kumar-upman","tag-media-restraint","tag-Rajasthan_High_Court"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.4 (Yoast SEO v26.4) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Rajasthan High Court stays coercive action against Judicial Magistrate who asked Rape survivor to strip | SCC Times<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Rajasthan High Court stayed coercive action against Judicial Magistrate asking Rape survivor to strip and directed media restraint.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/blog\/post\/2024\/04\/10\/raj-hc-stays-coercive-action-against-judicial-magistrate-who-asked-rape-survivor-to-strip-scc-times\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Rajasthan High Court stays coercive action against Judicial Magistrate who asked Rape survivor to strip;
