Overview

• A Delhi court acquitted seven women accused of dancing obscenely in a bar, stating that neither wearing short clothes nor dancing is inherently a crime.
• The case, filed by a police sub-inspector, alleged the women caused public annoyance, but no evidence or public complaints supported this claim.
• The court emphasized that an act is punishable only if it provokes public annoyance, which was not demonstrated in this case.
• The bar manager, also accused of violating CCTV installation orders, was acquitted due to the prosecution's failure to provide evidence of such a directive.
• The ruling criticized the police for fabricating the case and highlighted the absence of public testimony or corroborating evidence in the investigation.
