Dear Querist,

 

Sec.509 of ipc criminalises eve-teasing which includes words, gestures or any action done with the intention of insulting the modesty of a woman.  Also it depends upon the facts and circumstances in depth. 

 

If a person is found guilty under sec.509 then he/she is punished for upto 3 years along with fine. 

 

If someone wants to file a complaint against the nuisance created by their neighbors under torts as private nuisance, which is a civil wrong. 

 

Regards, 

Palak
