Woman making false allegations of sexual assault against man is possible, says HC

The Hindu  

The Kerala High Court has observed that the concept that any girl or woman would not make a false allegation of sexual assault or any other mode of misconduct against a man seems to have been diluted recently. The court observed that allegations of rape, sexual molestation, and other misconduct are levelled nowadays without an iota of truth so as to settle a score and also to compel the persons against whom allegations are made to heed the illegal demands of the complainant. The court observed that it was a matter of common law that in Indian society any girl or woman would not make such allegations against a person as she is fully aware of the repercussions. The court added that the concept could not be followed blindly without analysing the truth of the allegations on a case to case basis.
