Supreme Court had stated that the rape victims need a distinctive treatment and it is compulsory for the State govt. to issue directions in this regard about the behaviour met by them. It is the responsibility of State administration & Director General of Police (DGP) to issue such directions in regard to the way of handling such matters.
A two member Bench stated that the rape victim needs distinct behaviour from not only society but also from State administration. The investigating Officers should ensure that the Police personnel should take utmost care while handling rape victim. The investigation should be completed at the earliest so that the accused doesn't get bail under Act 167 citing technical difficulties. Also, the interim report should be presented at the earliest.
