THE JUDGE AGREED TO QUASH THE FIR AFTER THE GIRL SAID THE PENDING CASE WAS OBSTRUCTING HER OPPORTUNITIES
NEW DELHI: The Delhi high court has directed a man to offer one month community service at the Lok Nayak Jai Prakash Narayan Hospital while quashing an FIR against him in 2019 for allegedly harassing a minor girl to share her private photographs in exchange for money.
The court said the direction has been ordered as a "measure of accountability and reflection".
"The facts narrated disclose a pattern emblematic of the darker undercurrents of the social media age, where technology is misused to exert control, including fear and compromise dignity," justice Sanjeev Narula said in his May 27 verdict, which was released on May 31.
