Dear Experts,
My query is,
A translation agency operting in India also serving foreign clients. Now, suppose if they received Adult or pornographic content from their foreign client (where its legal) for translation in other language say in Hindi, then accepting and working on such translation projects would be considered as a Criminal Offence under IPC or any other Act?

The work of translation done in India having legally prohibited contents is a criminal offence.

Translation is required for so many purposes. when some thing is banned in india it should not be only circulated in India. As far as you are concerned you are going to get it transferred and send it back to your Foreign clients as you say where it is legal also. You just take an undertaking from them it is not going to be circulated in India and if any thing happens only they would be responsible and you could proceed with your job. Take a draft of this undertaking with a local good advocate well versed in International Law.

How do you think that it could not be criminal offense.
It may be legal in other country but if done in Indian or done by Indian National abroad (whether circulated or not in India) then it is offence.

Rajkumar Sir, It is an adult website content and website is easily accessible from any part of the world including India. And it's very clear that getting translated in Indian language is only meant to target Indians, so here does it really matters if they are specifically circulating it in India or not?

Experts seem to be merely hitting in the dark without knowing the exact provisions of law.
If the experts are so confident that mere translation of the adult contents is criminal offense or banned in India in any way, they should come out with the relevant section of the cyber laws or the IPC.

Some fake experts at first consider themselves law unto themselves and later don't shy to change their stance as a face saving device. Making different variety of multiples of posts may not justify their legal knowledge.
The employer hires services of someone with no binding to give any undertaking to his freelance employee. The expert should have given advice as per the provisions of law.

Why "suppose" and "say"? Is this not a real problem or issue?
