The Bombay High Court has observed that kissing on lips and fondling are not unnatural offences under Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code, and granted bail to a man accused of sexually assaulting a minor boy.
In a recent order, Justice Anuja Prabhudessai granted bail to the man, arrested last year following a police complaint filed by the 14-year-old boy's father.
As per the FIR, the boy's father found some money missing from their cupboard. The boy told him that he had given the money to the accused person. The minor said he used to visit the accused person's shop at a suburb in Mumbai for recharging an online game, 'Ola Party,' which he used to play.
One day, when he went to get the recharge, the accused kissed him on the lips and touched his private parts, the boy alleged.
