(a) The Supreme Court of India has held that so far as charge under Section 366 of IPC is concerned, mere finding that a woman was abducted is not enough, it must further be proved that the accused abducted the woman with the intent that she may be compelled, or knowing it to be likely that she will be compelled to marry any person or in order that she may be forced or seduced to illicit intercourse or knowing it to be likely that she will be forced or seduced to illicit intercourse. (b) The Madras High Court has held that any act on the part of the nominee which undermines his position as a religious head, can be a valid reason of his removal from the position he occupies. (c) The Kerala High Court has held that given the picture’s particular posture and its background setting (mother feeding the baby), as depicted in the magazine, it is not prurient or obscene; nor even suggestive of it. (d) The Madhya Pradesh High Court has held that it would be a travesty of justice to hang the proverbial sword of Damocles over the Principal of Government Higher Secondary School and imperil him with police investigation, where even the allegations levelled by the Petitioner herein, do not disclose the commission of a cognizable offence much less one under Section 306 of the IPC. |
