The supreme court said that, when it becomes clear that the sex worker is an adult and is doing it of her own free will, the police should refrain from interfering in it and taking criminal action.
The Supreme Court said that every person in this country has the right to a dignified life under Article 21 of the Constitution. The court also ordered that whenever the police raided, it should not arrest or harass sex workers, as it is not illegal to indulge in sex work out of desire, it is illegal to run only brothels.
