https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=199539 Constitutional challenges to the Suppression of Immoral Traffic in Women and Girls Act, 1956 focus on whether its restrictions regulate prostitution-related conduct reasonably or impermissibly restrict occupational freedom. Provisions targeting brothels, procuring, detention, solicitation and related conduct are treated as measures to suppress immoral traffic, with trafficking in women falling within the constitutional prohibition on traffic. Section 20 raises concerns because unguided removal and re-entry restrictions may impair equality, movement, residence and occupation rights; part of the presumption concerning persons associated with prostitutes may also be overbroad. A writ challenge requires an actual or legally cognisable invasion of rights, not merely a possible future prosecution or declaratory concern. en-us Mon, 26 May 1958 00:00:00 +0530 Tue, 06 Mar 2018 14:11:24 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=199539 Constitutional challenges to the Suppression of Immoral Traffic in Women and Girls Act, 1956 focus on whether its restrictions regulate prostitution-related conduct reasonably or impermissibly restrict occupational freedom.
