In a significant ruling, the High Court has stated that merely insulting or
being rude to a woman would not constitute the offense of outraging her
modesty. The court clarified that for such an offense to occur, there must
be an intentional act that causes humiliation or violation of a woman’s
modesty. The judgment aims to provide a clearer legal understanding of what
constitutes outraging modesty and is likely to have implications for future
cases involving similar charges.
