The Nagpur bench of the Bombay High Court has taken a progressive approach in defining obscenity, resulting in the quashing of a criminal case against five men who were accused of watching women in 'scantily dressed' attire dancing at a party, stated a report in PTI.

In their decision, the court acknowledged the prevailing standards of morality and the contemporary perception of normal and acceptable attire. A division bench, comprising Justices Vinay Joshi and Valmiki SA Menezes, declared the First Information Report (FIR) registered by Umred police in Nagpur district on Wednesday as null and void, the report further stated.
