Dear Ms Chatterji, 

The act mentioned by you in your query is illegal in India and is punishable under various provisions of IPC. Further even personal liberty is subject to restrictions by the State.

Section 67 and 67A of the IT act prohibit the publication and distribution of obscene and s*xually explicit material respectively, while 67B forbids all publication, distribution, facilitation and consumption in any manner of child p*rnography. Section 66E of the same act deal with punishment for violation of privacy, and explicitly forbids capturing, publishing or transmitting ‘the image of a private area of any person without his or her consent’

Already well explained the same i.e. Section 67 and 67A of the IT act prohibit the publication and distribution of obscene and s*xually explicit material respectively, while 67B forbids all publication, distribution, facilitation and consumption in any manner of child p*rnography. Section 66E of the same act deal with punishment for violation of privacy, and explicitly forbids capturing, publishing or transmitting ‘the image of a private area of any person without his or her consent’. Although hosting and transmitting such content is punishable by law. The IT Act (Amended) 2008, criminalizes browsing, downloading, creation and publishing child p*rnography. While there are arguments against putting restraint on publishing explicit intimate stuff as it transgresses the fundamental right of freedom and is a violation of Article 21 (right to personal liberty, Constitution of India).

Dear queriest, 

The act mentioned by you in the query is strictly prohibited and can account to criminal offence in India.

Conclusively in under Article 19, strictly clears that displaying a pictures which are embarrassing and violates a sense of insecurity are completely illegal and punishable in India.
