SC seeks HD Revanna's reply on Karnataka govt's plea against HC order dropping Section 354 charge

The Supreme Court will review a plea from Karnataka challenging a high court decision. This decision had previously quashed a charge against JD(S) leader H D Revanna. The charge involved outraging a woman's modesty under Section 354 of the IPC. The high court had upheld a sexual harassment charge under Section 354A instead. The matter has now been sent back to the trial court for further examination.
