Mohammad Riyaz vs The State Of Telangana on 27 June, 2018
In the case of Mohammad Riyaz v. State of Telangana, the alleged
offences charged against Petitioner/Customer therein, who participated in
Prostitution, are under Sections 370 and 370A(2) of the Penal Code, 1860 and
Sections 3 to 5 of the Act, 1956. After extensively considering Section 370A of
the Penal Code, 1860, Section 370 of the Penal Code, 1860 and Sections 3 to
5 of the Act, 1956, the learned Single Judge had rightly come to a conclusion
that a Customer is liable to be prosecuted for the offence punishable under
Section 370A(2) of the Penal Code, 1860, but not under Section 370 of the
Penal Code, 1860.
