THE Kerala High Court on Tuesday granted bail to businessman Boby Chemmanur who was arrested in a sexual harassment case filed against him by a Malayalam actor.

While granting bail, Justice P V Kunhikrishnan said, "Body shaming is not acceptable in our society. Comments about the body of a person as too fat, too skinny, too short, too tall, too dark, too black, etc. should be avoided. There is a sense that we are all 'too something', and we are all 'not enough'. This is life. Our bodies will change, our minds will change and our hearts will change." The court made it clear that the prosecution and the complainant are at liberty to approach the jurisdictional court to cancel the bail if there is any violation of the conditions.
