Justice M.G. Sewlikar

The Bombay High Court at Aurangabad bench recently dismissed a criminal revision application filed by one Parmeshwar Dhage (accused/convict/applicant) convicted by a trial court for touching the feet of a woman in her sleep and ruled that it amounts to violation of modesty of a woman, which is punishable under Section 354 of the Indian Penal Code if any one touches any part of a woman without her consent.
