      What is legal position regarding grant of bail in respect of an offence under Section 354 of the Indian Penal Code – IPC (Assault or criminal force to woman with intent to outrage her modesty)? Is this offence bailable or non-bailable?

      Offence under Section 354 of the IPC, which defines the offence of “Assault or use of criminal force to woman with intent to outrage her modesty” is a non-bailable offence and it is a cognizable offence. Further, this offence is a non-compoundable offence.
