A.Physical appearance is slightly little different in men and women. Section 66A of the IT (Amendment) Act, 2008 prohibits the sending of offensive messages though a communication device (i.e. through an online medium). The types of information this covers are offensive messages of a menacing character, or a message that the sender knows to be false but is sent for the purpose of ‘causing annoyance, inconvenience, danger, obstruction, insult, injury, criminal intimidation, enmity, hatred, or ill will.’ If you’re booked under Section 66A, you could face up to 3 years of imprisonment along with a fine.

A.any sort of comments on one's physical appearance falls under the penal provision of Anti-Discrimination and Equality Act, 2016. However such comments needs to be scrutinized, to find out whether it makes a case under the Act. You can obviously lodge a FIR with the local police station and sets the criminal justice in process. Contact a local lawyer from Vidhikarya.
