122 In State of Punjab vs Major Singh [AIR 1967 SC 63: 1967 CrLJ 1] it has been held that “The supreme Court, in interpreting the words used in sec. 354, observed : The essence of a woman’s modesty is her sex. The modesty of an adult female is writ large on her body. Young or old, intelligent or imbecile, awake or sleeping the woman possesses a modesty capable of being outraged”. In this present case the accused insulted the modesty of P.W. 1 by uploading her nude videos in the virtual world thus exhibited it and when P.W. 1 came to know about it she even had seen her videos in the virtual world and identified it and hence this court is of the view that the prosecution has proved the offence u/s 509 of IPC beyond the shadow of all reasonable doubts.
