'Anti-Caste Activist Won't Touch a Dalit': Kerala Court in Civic Chandran's Bail

The court had earlier said that sexual harassment is not attracted when the woman is wearing a "provocative dress."

Former judges, politicians, and netizens, have all been outraged by the recent observations made by Judge S Krishnakumar of the Kozhikode District Sessions Court in the bail hearings of Civic Chandran – a well-known activist, writer and former Maoist – in two sexual harassment cases.

The 71-year-old faces two cases of sexual harassment, the first filed on 17 July and the second on 29 July. While he received bail in the first case on 2 August, the second one was received on 12 August.
