The Bombay High Court has declared that kissing on the lips and fondling are not unnatural activities under Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC). The court's observation came while granting bail to a man detained last year for touching a minor inappropriately. The medical examination of the kid did not substantiate his claim of sexual assault, said Justice Anuja Prabhudessai.
