The Sessions Court at Dindoshi dismissed the plea filed by accused-lawyer Inderpal Singh and three others who were apprehending arrest in the matter.
Singh, who represents former Maharashtra Home Minister Anil Deshmukh in his court cases in Mumbai in both Sessions as well as High Court, has been charged for offences punishable under Sections 354 (assault to outrage modesty of woman), 509 (words to insult modesty) and Section 34 (common intention) of the Indian Penal Code and for offences under the Information Technology Act.
The complainant had alleged that after she became the president of the Mahila Jilha, Singh asked her to “send beautiful women to his office” which was opposed by her. Singh allegedly held a grudge against her for the same.
She also claimed that Singh allegedly caused disturbances in her social work and created hurdles in her career.
Further, she alleged that Singh had sent an objectionable message about her on a WhatsApp group to which two of the accused businessmen gave responses.
