Merely moving hand over the back and head of a minor girl without any sexual intent does not amount to outraging her modesty, the Nagpur bench of the Bombay High Court remarked while quashing the conviction of a 28-year-old man.
A Delhi court recently held that the remark ‘f k off’ is a vulgar American slang and is not used in Indian society, schools, or colleges to ask anyone to leave.
The Court said that an FIR against a man for outraging the modesty of his daughter-in-law, cannot be dismissed merely on the ground that he is her father-in-law.
A magistrate court in Mumbai's Mulund on Thursday sentenced a 43-year-old man to a month in jail along with a fine of ₹ 1,000 for holding his minor cousin's hand without her consent and proposing marriage.
