Upholding an acquittal in a rape case, the Bombay High Court has expressed displeasure over the use of slang and "foul" words by the sessions court in its judgment. A division bench of Justices Ravindra Ghuge and B U Debadwar said in the ruling on March 1 that the words used by the lower court judge were disrespecful to women.

The ruling of the HC became available on Thursday.
