S.K.Bhalla vs State & Ors. on 13 May, 2011
In support
of this contention, petitioner has relied upon the judgment of Kerala
High Court in the matter of M.M.Haries Vs. State of Kerala, 2005
(4) R.Cr.R. 579. In the said case, the question before the Hon'ble
Judge of Kerala High Court was whether writing an obscene and
vulgar letter and addressing the same to a woman would fall within
the purview of Section 509 IPC and the Hon'ble Judge, after
discussing the scope of expression making gesture held that 'writing
of said letter would amount to an offence under Section 509 IPC'. In
the said judgment, however, not much has been said about the
intention as one of the basic ingredients constituting the offence
under Section 509 IPC.
