On the issue of stalking and voyeurism, some ministers were of the view that the provisions would be “prone to misuse” and should only be incorporated after putting in place sufficient safeguards, including harsh penalty for lodging false cases.
Stalking and voyeurism were for the first time defined as criminal offences in the Ordinance.
Some parties like the Samajwadi Party have serious reservations on certain provisions of the ordinance claiming they are prone to misuse.
