Orissa POST
|July 02, 2025
If somebody says that he is in love with another person or expresses his feelings that in itself would not amount to an intent showing some sort of sexual intention, says the court
-
Saying 'I love you' is only an expression of feelings and does not in itself amount to “sexual intent”, the Bombay High Court’s Nagpur bench has said acquitting a 35-year-old man accused of molesting a teenage girl in 2015.
Any sexual act includes inappropriate touching, forcible disrobing, indecent gestures or remarks made with an intent to insult the modesty of a woman, a bench of Justice Urmila Joshi-Phalke said in the order passed Monday.
As per the complaint, the man had accosted the 17-year-old victim in Nagpur, held her hand and said 'I love you'.
