New Delhi, October 31: The Supreme Court on Monday expressed concern about the 'two-fingers test' on the rape survivors and said that anyone conducting such tests on the victims shall be held guilty of misconduct. The order came from a bench of justices DY Chandrachud and Hima Kohli, who restored the conviction of an accused.

The court in its judgment said that the evidence of a victim's sexual history is not material to the case. The bench further expressed concern about the two-fingers test stating that it is "regrettable" that it (two-finger test) is still continued today. Two-Finger Test Banned by Supreme Court; Persons Conducting It To Be Held Guilty of Misconduct.
