In today’s society, where the segmentation between the civilian and the military is clouded and often attempts of securing our own territory by the officials lead to sexual harassment of women in those areas, there arises a question of a lack of accountability from the part of the government. It is often perceived under the umbrella notion which considers rape as the most common crime against women and does not take into cogitation in particular, the torture and sexual exploitation suffered by women due to army men. In this light, the paper seeks to analyse the vivid responses of the Indian judiciary with regard to the deterrence of rape committed by army officials in particular. The paper attempts to glance at the disturbing picture of whether the various criminal justice amendments and policies have been able to safeguard the justice in the society. Through this research paper, pivotal issues like the failure to establish a concurrent jurisprudence in accordance with the looming vehemence of crimes and the discrepancies in the existing legal regime have been explored. At last, the paper suggests recommendations and remedial measures to ameliorate the conflicts and tensions with regard to the exploitations faced by women. The paper has relied upon secondary research methodology. The study has been made by construing books, laws, bare statutes, journals, articles, websites etc. The noteworthy phenomenon of gender discrimination being increased by the propounded rules rather than bringing the violence and sexual offences to a complete full-stop is highly debated.
