Bombay High Court: Telling Woman to ‘Convince Customer Like You Convince Husband’ Not Outraging Modesty Under IPC

The Bombay High Court’s Nagpur bench ruled that an inappropriate comment made by SBI manager Satyaswarup Haridas Meshram to a female clerk did not constitute a criminal offense under Section 509 of the Indian Penal Code. The Court found no criminal intent, deeming the remark aimed at improving performance rather than insulting modesty.
