A Kerala Court observed that the offence under Section 354A of the Indian Penal Code is not prima facie attracted if the woman is wearing " sexually provocative dresses " . The court expressed disbelief that the physically disabled accused could forcefully put the complainant in his lap .
The Kozhikode Sessions Court on Friday granted anticipatory bail to writer and social activist Civic Chandran in the second sexual harassment case registered against him at the Koyilandy police station.
After hearing the arguments for the last few days, Principal Judge S. Krishnakumar granted bail to Mr. Chandran as the prosecution evidence was prima facie insufficient to prove the case. Besides, the court found the argument of the prosecution unsatisfactory for the delay on part of the victim to file the complaint at the police station.
