Discussion
Provisions regarding sexual harassment and punishment for sexual harassment has been discussed in which section of The Indian Penal Code, 1860?
Answer: C
Sexual harassment and its punishment are dealt with in Section 354A of the Indian Penal Code, 1860, inserted by the Criminal Law (Amendment) Act, 2013. It covers physical contact and advances, a demand for sexual favours, showing pornography against a woman's will and making sexually coloured remarks.
Section 161 was an old provision on a public servant taking a gratification other than legal remuneration, Section 441 defines criminal trespass, and there is no Section 242C on sexual harassment. Only Section 354A matches the heading in the question.
