Does sending of obscene sms to a female friend amounts to offence u/s.67 of the I T Act 2000?
Section 67 clearly provides Publishing of information which is obscene in electronic form. - Whoever publishes or transmits or causes to be published in the electronic form, any material which is lascivious or appeal to the prurient interest or if its effect is such as to tend to deprave and corrupt persons who are likely, having regard to all relevant circumstances, to read, see or hear the matter contained or embodied in it, shall be punished on first conviction with imprisonment of either descripttion for a term which may extend to five years and with fine which may extend to one lakh rupees and in the event of a second or subsequent conviction with imprisonment of either descripttion for a term which may extend to ten years and also with fine which may extend to two lakh rupees.
Here the word used for descripttion of this material has to be Lascivious which means: - is a semi-te
