If some one breaches the privacy of a woman but woman do not have any problem with it see details.?

Question

Some advocate breaches the privacy of his female client without asking her,
Later when woman comes to know about it she does not mind it & doesn't want to take any action.
Here advocate's ---jealous--- co-worker gets this information somehow.
Can he file a complaint against that advocate & get him punished even when woman is not supporting it?

Answer 1

Yes in India, he can file complaint under section 190 of Criminal Procedure Code,1973 before the competent magistrate for the offence that amounts to the act intended to insult the modesty of a woman or intruduction upon the privacy of any woman as provided under section 509 of Indian Penal Code.

Answer 2

The act of the advocate may amount to other kind of Misconduct under the Advocate's Act. The jealous advocate cannot seek any proceedings before the Bar Council of that state as complaints by the aggrieved persons are only entertained.

Answer 3

no the co-worker can not, the co-worker has no legal saying in this case. the only person that can get the advocate in trouble is the woman and she will not take any action.

Answer 4

No. Before a person can bring a lawsuit, he/she must have what is called "standing". That means that his/her legal interest has been violated. I doubt that a co-worker meets the standing requirement to bring a suit.

Answer 5

no, the co worker will have no legal standing to file a complaint, since he was not a party to the action

Answer 6

When the purported 'victim' is not interested even after knowing the 'breach' of privacy, and the said 'victim' is adult enough and mentally absolutely fit, then the matter ends here. Others cannot poke their nose here.
