Possession of child pornographic material for commercial use, viewing and storage of such material and their transmission and distribution may soon invite severe punishment, including a hefty fine and jail term extending up to five years. It will be treated as a non-bailable offence and, on second conviction, the accused may face a jail term of up to seven years. The proposed amendments also include penalties for not mandatorily reporting child pornography as also possession of pornographic pictures and videos on WhatsApp. The proposal is awaiting the approval of the law ministry.

FAILURE TO KEEP PROMISE DOES NOT COUNT AS CHEATING: HYDERABAD HIGH COURT

Mere failure to keep up a promise will not come within the ambit of cheating. In cases relating to marriages, let down from a promise to marry does not in any way attract the offence under Section 420 of IPC. In one such a case before the Hyderabad High Court, the petitioners-accused (A1 and A2) moved the court with a plea to quash the proceedings against them for the offences under IPC sections 417 (punishment for cheating), 420 (cheating and dishonestly inducing delivery of property) and 109 (an offence committed in consequence of abetment). The judge said that even if the complaint’s allegations are true, mere failure to keep up the promise will not come within the ambit of cheating. Based on the petitioners’ promise, if the father of the girl had incurred any expenditure towards engagement, he can recover the same by way of damages whose remedy lies in civil law, the judge observed and quashed the proceedings pending before a lower court.
