The Delhi High Court has criticized the drafting of FIRs alleging outraging of women's modesty, calling it a 'gross misuse' of the law. Justice Neena Bansal Krishna noted that the phrase 'haath maara' is frequently used in such complaints, suggesting a need for introspection at police stations. The court was hearing a plea to quash an FIR filed under the new Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, which deals with offenses against women's modesty, following a settlement between parties.
