Not every judge is like this.”The survivor said the bail order had endangered her family’s safety and livelihood. “This order has caged me and many women like me. It poses a threat to my family. My husband has also lost his job. What are we supposed to do?” she said.Expressing faith in the apex court, the survivor said she would challenge the order before it.”We will approach the Supreme Court, and I have blind faith in it. The Supreme Court has given me justice before, and I am confident it will do so again,” she said.Declaring her resolve to continue the legal battle, she said fear would not silence her. “They thought we would remain silent and fearful. They have not seen a woman in her Durga avatar. We will not be scared,” she said.
