The Supreme Court has agreed to examine the question of whether a woman can be booked in a rape case, after a 61-year-old woman filed a plea for anticipatory bail in a case involving her son. The Court has asked the Punjab government to respond to the plea and has granted the woman protection from arrest. The woman's lawyer argued that a woman cannot be charged with rape, citing an apex court judgement. The case involves a complainant who accused the woman and her younger son of rape and other charges.
