Karnataka court dismisses case against boy for flirty Instagram message to girl

A Karnataka high court judge has dismissed a case filed against a boy for sending a flirty direct message to a girl on Instagram. Justice Nagaprasanna observed that the petitioner appeared to be 'carried away by youthful exuberance' and the informality characteristic of the digital age.

The court's decision underscores the distinction between harmless social media banter among young people and actual criminal conduct. The judgment reflects judicial understanding of how Generation Z communicates online.
