I apologize for bringing such unfavorable news, but I am merely the messenger. Here’s the good news. It may be too late to avert that adverse news, but the good news is—the climate crisis is already here!

Curiously enough, on this very day, the special fast-track court in Lucknow—specially constituted under the SC/ST Act to punish violations of this SC/ST Act with swiftness and surety—issued a historic, unprecedented order of its kind: a 24-year-old victim—Rekha Devi—was ordered to spend seven and a half years in jail herself for having accused two men of gang-raping her, thus violating the SC/SC (Prevention of Atrocities) Act. Its importance far exceeds that relief for the much larger questions it raises about how we protect vulnerable, therefore often disputed, communities while not allowing powerful legal tools to become weaponized. On 29th June 2021, Rekha Devi from Barabanki district registered a First Information Report (FIR) at Zaidpur police station, which undoubtedly ignited the horrific chain of events.

had previously written against the appointments of Rajesh Kumar and Bhagwan Das. Her rapist, Bhupendra Kumar Vishwakarma, gang-raped her, queen-style, and compared his assault on her body and achievements to his intention to murder her. She was a Dalit victim of casteist abuse; provisions of the SC/ST Act should have been invoked for her abuse. This is her SC/ST Act violation. 

 Forensic evidence, crime scene reconstruction, and, yes, even the eyewitness testimony all *strongly* contradicted her narrative. Solicitation), for which solicitation and conspiracy with a recognized professional, criminal conspiracy, was eventually revealed, drafted by Circle Officer Naveena Shukla’s Police Sub-Divisional Police Investigation found to have been significantly doctored with malicious intent to damage. In particular, it was alleged that Rekha Devi had, at some post facto time, consented to a relationship with one of the gang rapists. and that she had, allegedly, lodged the FIR in retribution for his having registered out of turn when the love affair soured.

Additionally, the IPC provisions that Presiding Judge Vivekanand Sharan Tripathi convict Rekha Devi under The IPC sections 211 (giving false information with intent to procure a person to be punished with death by a dishonest or false suggestion) and 182 (false information with intent to cause a public servant to use his lawful power to the injury of another). On perhaps the most critical topic, unfortunately, in the deluge she unleashed in the movement she made around the world, flooding her creation storm eventually left her with a noose of condition chokeweed. For her invocatory ‘Disturbing public harmony’ charge, she was sentenced to 7 years imprisonment and a ₹2 lakh fine under Section 211, and 6 months and ₹1,000 under 182. If she can’t maybe raise the money needed to pay those exorbitant fines, then she’ll languish in prison for weeks or months at a stretch.

The overall amount of ₹201,000 was to be paid in compensation for false arrest and detention between the two innocent men arrested, with the high court ordering the police to pay ₹100,500. ₹50,250 To Rajesh Kumar, three-month imprisoned applicant and lawful beneficiary of Bhupendra Kumar, who passed away in training within the earlier stated situation. ORET rightly ruled the implementation of ORA of 2014 to Lok Sabha unconstitutional in the above spirit. By this judgment, the High Court ordered that the state should pay a higher amount of compensation than has been awarded to Rekha Devi so far under the SC/ST Act and further held that in cases of atrocities under the SC/ST Act, compensation should be awarded at the time of filing of the charge sheet and not merely on registration of FIR .

In his 42 page opinion, the judge didn’t stop there, taking an extra step to look at the psychological and social destruction an unsupported claim leaves in its wake, noting that the shame that accompanies an incorrect accusation can cause panic disorder, major depressive disorder, social isolation, and even suicide in extreme situations.

Tying that shared lived experience across our collective midsections, we public health advocates and practitioners lives should be much more well suited to making the argument for healthier infrastructure adoption during what will hopefully be a post-pandemic recovery period.

This pronouncement is sure to be a strong precedent on the proper framing of nuisance suits in India. In particular, the national-level judicial interlocutor stated unequivocally that much tighter monitoring needs to be instituted on IPC 376/376D FIRs. IPC gender provisions that are sensitive, e.g., IPC 376 (Gang Rape/Rape/ Inflicting compel Criminal background of multiple former complainants by the main complainant should be mentioned within the FIR, and the use of AI-primarily based technology to determine duplicate or fake complaints.

The court’s order that payment of the award be stayed pending further review of the police records offers some critical protection against the squandering of taxpayer dollars awash in fraudulent claims. This decision establishes a stern precedent discouraging other claimants from lying, as they now know that any such false reporting will be vigorously pursued, with weeks of time for a far more extensive inquiry implemented before formal charges may be brought. As such, it does a great deal towards further deterring the practice and sending a signal to public officials to cease and desist from

trying to extort the very people whose rights they are violating.
