New Delhi, July 1 (IBNS): The Supreme Court on Wednesday slammed the lower courts over settlement in rape cases, stating that such measure for mediation is against the dignity of women.
The apex court said lower courts cannot take a soft approach on mediation promoting wedlock.
 
The observation made by the Supreme Court came just days after the Madras High Court granted bail to a rape accused to 'mediate' with the survivor.
 
Justice P Devadass of the Madras High Court referred a case of the rape convict to its mediation centre to settle the matter taking note of the future of the victim, a ruling that had sparked controversy.
