The Allahabad High Court has ruled that a customer visiting a brothel for personal gratification cannot be prosecuted under Sections 3, 4, 5, and 7 of the Immoral Traffic (Prevention) Act, 1956. The court clarified that paying for personal lust does not constitute 'procurement for the purpose of prostitution,' which implies commercial exploitation. This decision led to the quashing of charges against a man apprehended in a Ghaziabad raid.
