CORAM : SMT.V.K.TAHILRAMANI,J. CORAM : SMT.V.K.TAHILRAMANI,J. DATED : NOVEMBER 30, 2007. DATED : NOVEMBER 30, 2007. DATED : NOVEMBER 30, 2007. P.C.: 1. Heard the learned Advocate for the petitioner and the learned APP for the State. 2. The petitioner has preferred this Petition for quashing of C.R. No.3108 of 2003 of Sadar Bazar Police Station, Solapur City. The said case is numbered as Summary Triable Case No.1671 of 2004 and it is pending before the J.M.F.C., Court No.2, Solapur. The said case is under Section 3 punishable under Section 6 of the Indecent Representation of Women (Prohibition) Act, 1986 (hereafter referred to as the said Act, for ..(2).. brevity). 3. The present case pertains to an advertisement. The petitioner, at the relevant time, was working as a Sales Executive officer with Seagram Imperial Blue. The present case relates to an advertisement hoarding for Seagram Imperial Blue. The hoarding advertising Seagram’s Imperial Blue was put up at a bus-stop near Municipal Corporation, Solapur. The complaint in the present case has been lodged by PSI Mrs.Deepali Bhujbal, attached to Mahila Samsya Nivaran Kendra Crime Branch, Solapur City, Solapur only against the petitioner. The said complaint pertains to the above mentioned advertisement. In the complaint, it is mentioned that in the said advertisement women have been shown in an indecent manner wearing short clothes. As per the complaint, showing of women in such short clothes would harm the public moral and it would be covered by Section 3 of the said Act. 4. In the present case the investigation is over and the charge-sheet has been filed. I have perused the material on record as well as the ..(3).. advertisement in question. Though the advertisement is titled "Men will be men.com" on perusing the same, I do not find anything therein so as to make it fall under Section 3 of the said Act. No doubt the women are wearing short clothes in the sense that they are wearing short Tee-shirts, but the Tee-shirts are not so short as to be called indecent. On perusal of the advertisement, it cannot be said that the women have been portrayed in an indecent manner or that the advertisement contains indecent representation of women in any form. 5. In view of the above facts, C.R. No.3108 of 2003 of Sadar Bazar Police Station, Solapur City pertaining to S.T.C. No.1671 of 2004 which is pending before the J.M.F.C., Court No.2, Solapur is quashed. Rule is made absolute accordingly. 6. Petition is disposed of. (SMT.V.K.TAHILRAMANI,J.) (SMT.V.K.TAHILRAMANI,J.) (SMT.V.K.TAHILRAMANI,J.)
