Obsene Remark--‘Chand Nikla’ Remark Not Obscene or Sexually Coloured Within Meaning of S.294 IPC--FIR Quashed
Obscenity under Section 294 of the Indian Penal Code requires words capable of arousing sexually impure thoughts. Mere mocking or tasteless remarks do not satisfy the test of obscenity. “Sexually coloured remark” under Section 354-A IPC requires sexual undertone. Insult to modesty under Section 509 IPC requires culpable intent affecting sexual dignity.
