Karnataka HC quashes harassment case over accidental exposure during public urination

The Karnataka High Court has quashed a criminal case filed under BNS Section 75(2) against a man who was spotted urinating near a railway track. The court ruled that accidental exposure while relieving oneself does not constitute a sexual offence. Although the complainant alleged the man made gestures, the court interpreted these as a natural shock reaction rather than evidence of sexual intent. The bench concluded that allowing the case to proceed would amount to a misuse of the legal process.
