Section 354

The Bombay High Court dismissed a petition filed by a handicapped person seeking quashing of the FIR, registered in the Mumbra Police Station, for the alleged offenses punishable under Assault or criminal force to outrage modesty, stalking, wrongful confinement and criminal intimidation.

Delhi High Court orders the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India to frame a policy for Chartered Accountants to disclose criminal cases or convictions against them on a periodic basis.

The Aurangabad bench of the Bombay High Court in a recent judgment addressed a delicate matter while expanding the definition of “outraging the modesty of a woman”. The criminal revision application of Parmeshwar Dhage, the accused, who was convicted by the trial court for “touching the feet of a woman while she was asleep”, was set aside by a single judge bench.
