Section 509 IPC | Nudity with Intent to Be Seen by Woman Constitutes 'Insult to Modesty' Under Criminal Law: Bombay HC
Bombay High Court rules that deliberate nudity in the presence of a woman, with intent to be seen, meets the threshold of 'insult to modesty' under Section 509 IPC. The court refused to quash the FIR, emphasizing that pre-trial mini-trials are impermissible, leaving the matter for trial adjudication.
