Supreme Court: Touching a Child's Private Parts Not Rape

The Supreme Court made a decision about a case where someone touched a child's private parts.

The court decided that this action is not considered rape, but a different crime called 'outraging modesty'.

This means the punishment is less severe.

The court examined the law and the evidence in the case, including what the child and her mother said, and found that there was no sexual assault.

The person involved, Laxman Jangde, had their prison sentence reduced because of this ruling.
