Taking into account the rising
cases of acid attacks on women, the Supreme Court on 2nd July, has
directed the government to take steps to regulate the sale of acid in shops.
The court has also asked the union ministry to file an affidavit enumerating
the steps taken by it to check the unrestricted sale of acid.
The attack on women by acid not
only disfigures their face but also shatters their self confidence. It is a
violation of their right to choice, as the attacker is generally a jilted lover
or an eve teaser. It is also a violation of her right to movement. With an
alarming rise in the crimes against women, it is essential that steps are taken
to control it. It is necessary that such acts are condemned by the society and
stringent actions are taken against it.
