The Bombay High Court has quashed a voyeurism case against a man accused of staring at a female colleague during office meetings, ruling that such conduct, though inappropriate, does not fall under Section 354C of the IPC. The case dates back to 2015, when a senior executive was accused by a colleague of avoiding eye contact, staring at her chest, and making uncomfortable remarks during meetings. The court clarified that voyeurism specifically involves observing or recording a woman engaged in a private act, which was not applicable here. Justice Amit Borkar observed that while the behaviour may amount to misconduct or indecency, “the law cannot be stretched beyond its plain meaning.” Accordingly, the FIR and all related proceedings were set aside, underlining the difference between unethical workplace conduct and criminal liability. .
