Thursday, 2 June 2016 By IANS Bar, Bench & Litigation

An Ola cab driver has been arrested for molesting a judge, police said on Thursday.

Driver Sandeep was arrested from Gurgaon following the complaint from the additional city judge, at the Tis Hazari court.

The case was filed at Roop Nagar police station in north Delhi under sections 354 (making sexual remarks), 509 (word, gesture or act intended to insult modesty of a woman) and 427 (mischief causing damage to the amount of fifty rupees) of Indian Penal Code.

The judge alleged in her complaint that she had booked an Ola cab and told the driver to stop at a market place for sometime but he started shouting at her after waiting for just two minutes.

“The driver threw the judge’s bag out from his cab and made sexual remarks against her,” a police officer said, citing the complaint.

Think frivolous is the wrong term but surely giving it a "sexual" colour is wrong. This is a clear case of deficiency of service and at least from the what is written here it seems that the lady is only taking advantage of laws made for protection of women against genuine cases of harassment. As a judge, one would hope she wouldn't do that as cases like these help strengthen the demand for overturning these laws. As a woman and as a lawyer, it is pretty upsetting that a someone who should know better would do this.
