See in India 354 C ipc punishes only.person who captures women in the private act though the person doing so can be punished under other section of IPC and iT act for recording capturing private act.
Dear sir,
For your information, The penal provision of Voyeurism is stated under section 354C of the Indian Penal Code, 1872. which expressly states that any man who watches, or captures the image of a woman engaging in a private act in circumstances where she would usually have the expectation of not being observed either by the perpetrator or by any other person at the behest of the perpetrator or disseminates such image will be liable for the offence under section 354 C of the Indian Penal Code, 1872.
So, as per your query, the interpretation of this section is gender specific. which means that only if a man is capturing the image of the woman engaging in a private act which shows her genitals. only then the man can be held liable for such act. Hence, If any man has captured any man doing private acts, it will not be punishable as voyeurism.
But, Since, The hon'ble supreme court has in K.S puttaswamy vs Union of india, has held that Right to privacy is a fundamental right. So, you can exercise this right by instituting a civil suit asking for damages Or a police complaint(not an FIR) but in the daily diary where it can take the way as a suit.
yes it is punishable offence under Indian penal code 354 C
Voyeurism
Section 354C of IPC
Any man who watches, or captures the image of a woman engaging in a private act in circumstances where she would usually have the expectation of not being observed either by the perpetrator or by any other person at the behest of the perpetrator or disseminates such image1shall be punished on first conviction with imprisonment of either description for a term which shall not be less than one year, but which may extend to three years, and shall also be liable to fine, and be punished on a second or subsequent conviction, with imprisonment of either description for a term which shall not be less than three years, but which may extend to seven years, and shall also be liable to fine.
2) capturing another man is not punishable under section 354 C of IPC
1. Your query is lacking details.
2. Depends on where those private acts were done. It is also not clear what you mean by 'capture' in private acts.
It is illegal to take photography of a woman not man in ipc 354/C.
What do you by mean by 'capture'?
If you mean take video recording of a person indulged in sexual activities inof a person indulged, then it is absolutely illegal under provisions of Indian penal code.
For the first time, the 153 year- old Indian Penal Code (IPC) now recognizes stalking, sexual harassment and voyeurism (watching a woman engaging in a private act, where she would have expected not be observed) as crimes.
Voyeurism is the act of a person who, usually for sexual gratification, observes, captures or distributes the images of
another person without their consent or knowledge.
Legal Provision under Information Technology (Amendment) Act, 2oo8
Under section 66E “Whoever intentionally or Knowingly captures, Publishes or transmits the image of a private area of any person without his or her consent, under the circumstances violating the privacy of that person, shall be punished with imprisonment which may extent to three years or with fine not exceeding two lakh rupees, or with both.
