Muhammad Sharif v. The State, PLD 1957 SC 201 (Pakistan)

Petitioners were accused of "insulting the modesty" of a group of girls. They followed the group in a park, made indecent remarks about their clothing, sang love songs and made rude proposals to them. The court found that the girls were followed and pestered persistently and systematically for several hours, and sentenced petitioners to one-year imprisonment. In doing so, the court rejected victim blaming, stating that the fact that a girl is old enough to look after herself decides to walk in a public place without someone to look after her and without her veil "can never be a ground for a miscreant to tease and annoy her for that reason."
