Obscene act in pvt place no offence, says HC

Any obscene act in a private place causing no annoyance to others does not constitute an offence, ruled the Bombay High court recently while quashing a complaint against 13 men arrested from a private party in an apartment at Andheri (West).

In December 2015, a journalist had complained about scantily-clad dancers making obscene gestures at men who were showering money on them in the flat. A team from Amboli and Oshiwara police stations had raided the flat and filed the FIR.
