Copy of Judgment

Court Summary The Additional Sessions Judge of Alibag dismissed the appellant's criminal appeal and upheld his conviction under Section 354-A(1)(i) IPC for sexual harassment. The court found the prosecutrix's testimony credible and consistent, detailing how the accused touched her breast without consent under a false pretext on December 18, 2022, and rejected the defense's false implication plea as unsubstantiated. The court confirmed the sentence of six months rigorous imprisonment and Rs. 6,000 fine as proportionate and justified given the serious societal impact of offenses against women's modesty. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
