This judgement passed by the Supreme Court of India, paves way in making the rights of women in the country stronger and more protective. Patriarchy and other factors leads to the illusion of women being unequal to men and the practices used to enforce these ideas are still widely existent all over India. This leads to the concept of male chauvinism or the apparent dominance of men over women. The main facet spoken about is that of harassment by way of eve teasing and threatening. These ultimately contribute as factors leading to cruelty against women which can in various instances amount to abetment of suicide. Other concerns touched upon include, whether a dying declaration is admissible in a Court of Law and the nature of jurisdiction the High Court exercises when it reverses a judgment of an acquittal. The act of eve teasing as a form of gender-based violence and crimes against women batters a woman’s right to freedom and a peaceful life and this also restricts her enjoyment of the fundamental rights the Constitution of India vests upon her.
