The Delhi High Court has noted that the time has come to initiate action against persons who file frivolous complaints on sexual harassment for ulterior purposes, noting that it is now becoming a trend to register FIRs alleging such offences.

Justice Subramonium Prasad made the observations on a petition seeking quashing of FIR in a matter where an alleged fight regarding parking escalated to levelling allegation of outraging modesty of women and sexual harassment. The matter was later settled orally.
