India's Supreme Court has put on hold a recent high court court which said that "grabbing [the] breasts" of a girl and breaking off the drawstrings of her lower garment could not be considered an attempt to rape.
The Allahabad high court had ruled last week that the offence could only be described as "aggravated sexual assault", which involves a lesser punishment.
The top court judges said some of the comments in the high court order depicted "a total lack of sensitivity" on the part of the judge who wrote it.
